    Spring suitability query...

    I'm sure everyones heard that lowering springs tend to kill dampers over time and are generally a pretty poor solution as theyre not 'matched' to the dampers as such. As the cupra already has 'stiffer' suspension does that go to suggest that lowering springs could work well on the leon...

This reference is marked on the springs themselves, so I am pretty sure we got what we ordered. When the springs were fitted, the mechanic...

  19. Bonnet Latch Spring

    Discovered while going over a speed bump yesterday that my bonnet was not closed properly. When I tried to close it I found the spring that keeps the latch closed is missing! :-o Anyone have any idea where I can get a replacement without going to the stealers?

    Spring on Headlight.

    Can anyone tell me if the spring thats on the back of the headlight and that the indicator clips onto is available on its own from the dealer. Or does it come as part of the headlight?? Reason Im asking is that I need a new one. Cheers. Craig.
