I've been doubting the point in keeping my LCR recently, as all I seem to do is potter along in traffic to and from work or the city centre these days, so having a car like the LCR seems a bit overkill. I could just as easily - and quickly - do the same in a TDi Lupo or something! But then...

Having had the altea for a couple of years now. I have compiled a list of things that in my opinion would turn the Altea from a good family car to an excellent family car. General 1) Make the boot hold an umbrella type pushcar/golf clubs etc. The boot is too square so make more use of the...

Trying to track down a Cupra today that's already in the system (cant wait for a factory order). Definitely require Bluetooth (bonus being larger & more versatile MFD). Convenience pack - not fussed over, but if it's on the car, then OK. What I'm struggling with is what colour to go...

The reason I ask the above is that right now, my car has the infamous "buggy" look due to bigger wheels on the standard suspension/springs. The rear wheel arch gap is massive. The Eibach kit im thinkin of gettin says it lowers 30mm on front and 25mm on the rear. Surely this means that the...

The title says it all guys!! I done this to my 6 speed lc I tried to explain a little on the picture but it didn't work very well. As you look down at the linkage from the front of the car you will see how the left linkage arm from the gear stick is fixed. you need to disconect this just...

Hi all!! Im thinking of making my own strut brace? I work as a stainless steel tig welder so we got loads of stuff for making things like this. I have been looking at a few different designs but not sure what would be best? I cant imagin it would make too much difference really. Im thinking...

Hi, iv had a quote on a complete custom exhaust, stainless steel, from the manifold all the way thru, im having the actual bore of the exhaust half an inch wider and having it de cat`ed (with the potential to put it back in for mot`s) with one middle box then leading to the back with 2...

Have any of you fitted a K&N panel filter to your FR TSFI's? Or another make for that matter. Did you notice any change? I fitted one to my old 172cup and the misses MX-5 and it smoothed out the engine noticibly, bit more sound and maybe a bit faster.... definitely worth it. Don't...

Following my previous logging session with std airbox (results here) 185.5 g/s, I refitted my Maxflow RamAir today. I'd bought a new core for it. Here are my logs. Air temp 5 degrees, the only other thing is that following a tip from our sooty friends I put some dielectric grease on my MAF...

So for all those people who have now brought a rear strut brace and fitted it to their Leon, does it make any difference? Thought it might be good to see what people think.

Hey guys. Sick of driving the girlfriends nippy, revvy but ultimately slow.. Puma. Also sick of getting lifts into work. So I've decided to get the car I've been saving for, the Leon Cupra. I've tried piece together little bits of info. over the past couple of months in order to make an...

Hey all.... Now I know that Revo state that an induction/CAI kit is required for Stage2 maps (which I have).. but do you REALLY need one? Does it really affect the power of the car? Does it help the running/figures etc? Or is it possible to get away with an uprated panel filter, such...

Hi. I want to see if they are any warning light bulbs dead. Is there any way to make them all come on?

Are the standard disc's and pads on the LCR brembo or standard seat parts? I need new ones all round at my next service but as the car is out of warranty soon i will be going to an independant garage to get the work done. Am i best off with the stock parts or has anyone tried a successful...
