Hi, I currently have an 02 Seat Leon Cupra (non-"R") which I enjoy very much. Around 60k on the clock now. What I am not particularly enjoying are the fuel costs. I think I'm spending about £300 pcm - I get about 330-340 miles per tank. It's mostly motorway miles. I'm just...

Any of you guys had any of this kangaroo juice that tescos are selling? Do Seat cars have oxegyn sensors? How much would thay be to replace if i get some rogue petrol. Also who would be responsible for it as its not a warranty issue is it? toejam237

Does anyone know if a Milltek downpipe and Sports Cat will fit the original cat-back system on an ibiza FR 1.8T petrol from 2005? Is it easy to fit and where can I get it for a reasonable price? How much power can I expect together with a remap? Thanks!

I have done a search but cannot find the answer as to difference in servicing costs on a Petrol vs Diesel. Surprisingsly, the couple of quotes I have received so far, the Diesel FR costs more to insure than the petrol, but only by difference in road tax so no problem there really. As I...

Firstly, let me make it clear that this thread and question has no hidden agenda, no point to prove, nothing sinister or snide about it at all. It's a genuine question. Also, PLEASE don't turn this into a 'my e-penis is bigger than yours' debate ;) Ok... I'm guilty myself of saying the only...

whats everyones mpg for the ibiza 1.8t cupra petrol? or anyone have an idea?

There are a lot of threads on Derv vs petrol which seem to degrade into people stating that A is better than B, end of discussion. But what I really want to know is what sort of money yields what sort of gains on the different engines. Any info welcome but what I would really like to know is...

Have had the car since end July 06 and like it very much. Has only done 3800 (mainly local) miles. 1. When checking the oil level I see white sludge ('mayonnaise', I've heard it called) in the filler cap. I know the mainly local driving can contribute to this sort of problem - but I do give it...

My LCR was running perfectly on new-years-eve, filled up with V-Power and pootled home in traffic. Come New-years-day I get out on the open road put my foot down and it just didn’t go how it normally does. It still has power and runs smoothly, no funny noises from the engine, but there is...
