years

So, I thought it about time to post up my long overdue readers ride thread. I bought my LCR in March 2005 at the same time that I joined this forum. It was my local dealers demonstrator and had just 2800 miles on the clock. Car in April 2005 Having studied the various mods and...

I'v had my Leon for 3 years today(from new). I still look back at it when im walkin away from it and love it. Iv though about changing it but as they say, if it aint broke dont fix it... Iv done 60k hard kilometres on rough back roads and the only thing its ever needed is a new bulb in the...

my ibiza keeps blowing the same fuse all the time. a mate at work says he has always 'just stuck a bigger one in' as a quick fix. im assuming the proper way would be to locate the problem lol. 15 to a 20 amp fuse to run my heater fan motor. will it completely f%*@ it if i do this? dave.

By the time I'm 20 - 21 ("In less than 2 years from now"), I'll be in uni in Sep' 2010. I'll stay at home and go to uni here in Bangor to study music. So one of the things to do in my "to-do list" is to buy myself a long-awaited much loved SEAT Ibiza GTi. There has been some debate or...

I sold my PD130 last year as most on here would know about it. It was running a hybrid turbo and Allard FMIC 220bhp. I keep in contact with the guy who now owns it. Lately the car was running bad and was eventually tracked down to leaking boost. Turned out to be the Allard FMIC. It was full of...

well its just coming up 2 years with my TDi FR. Its not been an easy relationship and there isnt a week goes by when I dont think of selling it. However despite the Steering Rack, DPF, Oil leaks and other issues it still puts a smile on my face when I get behind the wheel, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hi I'm looking at a 53 Plate Toledo this weekend. 1.8 SE, 68K from an independent dealer. I've negotiated to £2195 plus they're getting the timing belt done. Does that sound like a reasonable deal in the current economic climate? Most importantly, what should the 'timing belt change'...

Boost gauge fitted yep i did it i fitted a boost gauge to the LCR :funk: the Gauge is a smiths one that goes to +1.5 bar and - 1.0 bar vac, not a hard job to do and i now know the wire to splice into.:funk:

HI All what years did the pre face lift model Cupra run from and to was it 2000 - 2002? Thanks

......and I have finally fitted the de-lock kit & relocated fuse 38 - the kit has been sitting round since April 2005 !!! Only one thing confused me, fuse 38 had a 15 Amp fuse in it, but it says in the manual it should be 10A ? I've asked another member and his is the same, so I have left it as...
