seat leon cupra r225

Disclaimer - yes I did search first :) Just got my LCR in February, it got a service and MOT at the dealer I bought it from before I took delivery of the car. For the past 2 or 3 weeks I've noticed that the word "service" flashes constantly on the mileage display on the speedo when the...

Having spending the last few days reviewing air intakes i'm completely non the wiser on which one to go for. From what I've read a stage 1 LCR is best on a uprated panel filter using OEM airbox? However, there will be no negatives from getting rid of the stock airbox for a induction kit...

Disclaimer - yes I did search and I'm still confused :) The splitter on my 55-plate LCR 225 is broken (bloody potholes and sleeping policemen) so needs replacing. I can get one from my local stealer and am happy to change it myself. Searched on here and read a bunch of posts about splitters...

Hi folks, I received my 55-plate LCR 225 a week ago and after a few commutes, a few blasts for fun and a 250-mile round trip to the nearest Ikea with the mrs. yesterday, have a few questions... Seen a lot of posts on the stock windscreen wipers being crap. My front ones aren't too bad but...

Hi all, Got the single-CD version of the Aura head unit in my LCR225. Want to replace it with something that I can plug my iPod into (1st generation Nano at the moment, may upgrade to newer Nano, Touch or Classic soon). In my old Punto I had a cheap-as-chips Ripspeed unit, the iPod...

Hi, Im looking to remap my Cupra R 225bhp. I was just wondering whats the max I can safely bump the power up to and still retain traction and not effect reliability/economy. Which remap is best 'MTM' ? Thanks, Dara

hi guys, recently smoothed my airbox on my 225 LCR, apart from that its standard at the mo. should i notice any differences if any ??? and, will i notice any gains when i fit the green cotton panel filter, and forge 007??

i know this is an old problem, but its pi55ing me right of!! just had car a few weeks , drives like a dream and grips the road like glue. best car i have ever owned only real problem is pulling to the left, and also i think when braking from high speeds (in excess of 80mph) it does the same...

Hi folks I've been looking around to see what 225 LCRs are making now, and there don't seem many around in private sales, mainly dealers still. Mine's a Platinum 05/05 and done 11,000 miles as a 2nd car (always garaged) bought new by me in April '05. Mechanically totally standard, with...

I got chatting to a guy from Superchips at Castle Combe last weekend where I was marshalling at a Rally show (which was awesome but very wet, some big names and big cars showing off and going off, but that is another story!) ... anyway to cut a short story shorter I am now seriously looking to...

I am thinking about changing my LCR225 for a new Leon. There are some good deals about on the new TFSI - I was looking on drivethedeal.com and I got one at about £14.5k with the options I wanted. I should imagine they are going to be cheaper still when the new FR/Cupra arrives. Has anyone...

I need to top my oil up. The car has 1700 miles on it, so anyone know what manufacturer/grade of oil i should use ? Dave
