miles

Anyone else experienced something similar? how did you go about solving the problem?

In red, skirts, spoiler and black OEM wheels and in standard spec otherwise. I am thinking £11-£12k in a private sale? Why? I am considering my options which include getting a company Mondeo TDCi in place of the Leon 1.6 and one of these in place of the Cupra; My dream car, the Ford...

Went away last weekend, SE London to Colchester to see my Mum, then up to Kings lynn, Skegness, then along the Norfolk coast to Hunstanton, down to Norwich, across to Great Yarmouth and Lowerstoft then home.... Having filled up at Lakeside Tesco on the way out the fuel warning ping went just as...

Hey people, My LCR has only just touched 30K miles and I was wondering how important it is to change the mounts (Engine, gearbox, and dogbone). Will I see much difference in changing these? So far I have only seen people changing these who have done many miles. I am thinking of going...

Had a long drive today (car is brilliant in 4" of snow by the way!!) which added about 300miles to the clock. Its now at 8944miles. Its due for its 1st service in March some time. But when i started it to go to the shop it told me "Service due in 400 miles or 431 days" So, the computer...

Hi guys, Just to introduce myself I currently own a saab 9-3T LPG converted which i'm looking to sell soon and buy myself a nice Leon FR150. I've been browsing this forum for a while before i buy and have just seen a 2005 Leon FR+ in vv good overall condition with FSSH - it's the exact spec...

Well as most of you will know by my posts I've been using Millers oils since my cars 20,000 miles service. Since I bought the car (new 21 miles on the clock) I have been using Optimax and then V Power for every fill up. My car is now at 92,000 miles and the last three services have been done...

Hi everyone Newbie to the forum here and not yet a Seat Owner. Wanted to get some views of long standing Leon owners on the FR TDI's place in the heavy mileage per week bracket. Currently doing around 1000 miles per week for company and using hire cars - I've become so happy with using...

I didnt know it could do that i alwys kept a count of miles in my head sad ! i know! but was da only real way for me to tell! Does anybody know how...

100,000 miles ticked over on the way to work this morning :D 38,000 miles of happy motoring for me in the 3 years i've owned her for the cost of a 1 x back box and 1 x new clutch. Time for a good service, cam belt and all that as a christmas present!

Theres a red Cupra tdi for sale with 120k on the clock and full seat history. It needs a major service but the deal could be done for £4,500 and i'd do the service myself for peace of mind. So.... what do i need to check other than the clutch, rear washer, aircon and spare wheel which i...

Well just a quick update on my experiences of the kit thus far. Well since the engine build on my Golf at 110k (the kit had done 10k on the original engine) thankfully Rods and Bores were all in excellent condition. I decided asking some good old mates from the Tim Stiles era (TSR) for the...

i had to have my gearbox replaced on my leon after 23,000 miles. i know this is not normal, jus wondering if anybody has had the same problem?

Good Evening, I am currently looking at buying a mk3 Ibiza Cupra and am thinking of looking at this: http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/781810.htm at the weekend. does it look like the skirts and bumpers are a different silver to the original bodywork? is 80.000 miles alot for £4500 and...

Hi to all on this forum Concidering buying a Leon Sport 2.0 TDi, 05/55 plate, Black, 35000 miles Its at a dealer for £9500. The curret Classes trade price is £8900 so seems a fair price? I am in the unfortunate postion of owning a 330i Touring BMW (05/55) and looking at redundancy so...

My car was born in Nov 2004, and how time flies, is now almost 3.5yrs old. As we all know the manual says to change the belt at 60k or 4yrs. It has only done 32k - but with a service due at 35k around early summer time - should I be looking to get the belt changed then? Thanks.

Just wanted to get some info from other TDI owners. How many miles do you do per full tank? And what fuel do you use? Any other info like remap/BHP would be useful. Shell Extra & Millers DPS4. P-Torque Remap @ 185BHP 384 Miles This doesnt seems as much as I would like tbh -...

Hi Guys, This is a bit of an odd one, but my 53 reg Seat Ibiza sport clocks up the mileage in kms. It has been like that since I bought it. It's not an import and the speedometer is in mph with the kms on the inside, like on a normal car. Does anyone know what the procedure is to reset the...
