  2. Suspension Bushes - life expectancy?

    My Cupra has just had its 4th birthday... and whilst it only has a paltry 34k on the clock, i guess it hasnt had the easiest of lives, having barely ever seen a motorway or long run, constantly being driven on shoddy inner city roads. Now, i cant really expect my car to be comfy, and never...

  8. Tyre Life?

    Evening all, Just wondering what the general consensus is on the life of tyres. I have been informed by a local garage that tyres should not be kept on a car longer than 3 years, due to safety issues and that regadless of the tyre tread should be replaced. All opinions welcomed Thanks...

  9. Turbo life?

    How long would you expect a turbo to last for? My car's a standard Leon TDI 110, 52 plate and 50,000 miles. I've had to put up with a right saga lately... I took it in with a power loss problem and the dealers diagnosed an Air Mass Meter problem. After then taking it back twice (the first...

  10. Ibiza Long Life Servicing

    can anyone tell me if its possible to swap my partners 1.4tdi from a short to a long life service. She currently does 20-25000 mile a year so bigger service intervals would help. However whats the price hike for long life services and will it have any detrimental effects?

  13. Battery Life in Remote Locking

    I brought a new key fob from the main stealers about 14 months ago and yesterday it seemed to give up the ghost. It allowed me to open the car but refused to lock it after my journey. My question is how long should the batteries last (there is 2 in the fob) and how do they fail? I would have...

    Rear Wiper on Mk3 Ibiza has a life of its own!

    My rear wiper on my Ibiza Mk3 comes on all by itself and stays on all the time even when the switch is off but then sometimes will stop for a while then a little bit down the road will start off again on its own. Sometimes the front wipers will work on their own as well with the wiper switch off...

    Had a set of H7 Osram Silverstar 50% bulbs in the LCR for a year and both have blown within this time. Has anyone else had poor life from these bulbs? The beam is fantastic but would expect better life from them especially as one was replaced just after a few months! Anyone got any...
