Hello there. I own a 2001 / 51 Seat Toledo Tdi 110 SE with full service history. This car always starts perfectly when cold, no problems at all. However when the car is warm, although it always starts in can take up to 10 seconds of cranking before it will fire. The glow plugs have been...

My cupra's behaving pretty strangely- the brakes are really lacking in feel and need a fair bit of pressure to stop it, but if i brake really hard (pulls slightly left but i think thats just road camber) it improves for a short while. brake fluid was changed 6 months ish ago (feel wasn't...

Hello, i've put a new JVC headunit in my car which is a 52 plate Leon Cupra, since putting it in i don't seem to get very good reception, the headunit does its best to re-tune itself to the strongest signal but it can't find anything sometimes and i just get a load of hissing. Is there a cheap...
