When I bought my LCR (03 plate 210 LCR, now has 34k miles) I was given 6 months warranty, with the option to extend it for the next two years, I simply have to decide within the 6 months if I want to extend. I have about 4 months left and I'm unsure of the warranties worth. From memory, it...

This weekend, it was time to tackle the stone chips on the front of my Leon. As it’s a daily driver with 15000 miles on the clock after less than 5 months, and black, you can guess the state the leading edges were in. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a good picture of the chips. So I gathered up...
