As above really, have been thinking about getting my servicing done at a specialist instead, with all genuine seat parts thus keeping the warranty..... What's people thoughts on this as i don't really think i would care if i was buying a second hand one as long as the warranty still stood...

right first of all i have no intention of buying this im very board at work found this on ebay and interested as to what the clames are for this MBC for any 1.8t thoughts towards this please...

When i eventually get my car back from the stealers :headhurt: , 1 of the first mods to do is change the forge dump valve , but what are peoples opionions on the spacer? is it too chavy? or does it sound ok? can it be made quieter once its on there or does it have to be removed? all...

For the most part I have been quite chuffed with my Cupra with only the odd minor niggle/fault/design flaw letting it down. Good things about the Cupra; Quick Accelarates well Stops well Corners well Has quite a bit of space The appearance with the skirts and spoiler and...

Morning guys, Mk3 Cupra which normally runs like a dream won't start today. Car ran fine yesterday, no issues at all, regular temperature etc. Had a freezing night last night (often do, may not be related) and this morning it won't start. Turns over fine, sounds like battery is healthy at...

After the new year im sorting out ALL the internals ( and rebore to 1.9L) and looking to replace my VF34 IHI with something larger ( hopfuly keeping the mani ). I have come across THIS, whats your thoughts and also at that power ill need bigger injectors ( what size?) and another fuel pump ...

Hey all - never been a big poster, but some of you may recall I had a yellow Seat Leon Cupra (1st car in UK to have the now common Inovit Spin alloys!!) Well, i wrote it off in October (day of my brothers wedding!!), and have now finalised the order of my new car - it arrives on 1st march...

Howdy all - christ it's been a while since I posted here :blink: My dad's (remapped) Leon 110TDI is showing signs of MAF failure (very lumpy starting, and crap power delivery). A few years back when the OEM Bosch MAFs were £silly, everyone was suggesting the Merc Pieburg unit as a better...

Me and the wife have agreed life is too short and we want to get a 'fun/fast' car, after yeas of having BORING boxes on wheels. Havent got a HUGE budget, were looking at around the 10k mark. (with a part ex of about 3.5k on current car) Were going to throw caution to the wind and get a new...

Hi all, Brand spanking box fresh newbie here. (Been around alot of other forums for years tho). Learnt that the most info you can gather before buying a car the better, so here i am.... The missus is looking to buy herself a Mk4 1.2 SX Ibiza. Having just sold her Mini Cooper (pile of...

I have a silver LCR and I know this has been asked before but im umming and arring about whether to do it or not? Re-paint the standard alloys in a Black finish? Whats your thoughts lads and lass's:confused:

Picked up my new Leon FR Tdi on Friday (coming from an Altea Sport Tdi DSG). So far mixed impressions. Car looks good (Zenith, 18") and goes very well indeed (although clearly still tight). Handling (from what I can tell) is also great (like on rails etc..). Build seems ok although noticed...

i am thinking about this spoiler, is it a yes or a no from you all...

Hi guys, I'm totally new here as you will see and my interest has been set on the FR 150 tdi. My current car (mk3 Cavalier CDX) has just blown its head gasket) and i dont want to spend any more money on it. Anyway, as i said, i have been looking at the leon as i commute 20K a year so...

Hi all. Just noticed a strange fault with my XL. The reversing light in the tailgate operates on the nearside of the tailgate and is red!. The rear fog light is on the off side of the tailgate and is white. Initially I thought this was the bulbs put in the wrong way round, but both the...

Been thinking about replacing my Astra Sri wth something more powerful, but still have 4 doors and to carry 4 adults... So narrowed it down to the Cupra R or New Cupra. Well thats until i saw the Civic Type R JDM Version.... now i am just not sure. It is expensive at £22,995, but that is because...

I noticed my Local Shell garage was stocking this when i popped in the other day, so i decided to fill up with it instead of the usual Shell Extra. My initial thoughts are that it is a waste of money. Reasons: Over 100 miles i've noticed no improvement, but a couple of negative points. The...

OK, so after searching it looks like there are not many knocking about in the used car world so it may have to be a new one if all goes well. After loosing touch since swapping the LCR I am just asking you FR TDI owners your thoughts... ride quality ? (on 18's hopefully) build quality...

OK dokie, I have a poorly TDi (again! ggrr) Problems 1. Gear box wont select gears straight away, its 'clunky' and takes literally seconds to change into any gear. 2. At low rpm (1k-2k) when setting off if I give the car some gas aswell, it chudder's really badly until I rev it more to...

Well I am nearly 3 months in now (ok.. so not long long term) but I had a thought today about my old Focus. I just don't miss it one bit :D I am now more in tune with the Leon than ever these days. Got the perfect driving seat position I haven't changed for months. Everything just works and...
