When my LCR's low fuel warning comes on, I have noticed a strange noise coming from the rear of the car. I presume its something to do with the fuel tank. It can only be heard when the car is ticking over. Its like a clunking noise. Sort of like fuel sloshing around but it won't stop...

Just bought a 2001 Leon Cupra last week with 40k on the clock and all has been fine so far until I took it to work (roughly 20 mile drive) and noticed that on the way home the clutch pedal doesn't seem to move smoothly and when returning the pedal stops just before the top and then returns...

D'Oh - just when the cruise control light thing turned out to be a non-fault, I've spotted something else. I've discovered what looks like an oil leak. It's appeared on the driver's side at the edge of the engine undertray. I took the undertray off to investigate further & it seems to be...
