what did you and your mk3 leon do today
- Thread starter seatleon2012
- Start date
Needed a jump start at 4am after getting back from Cyprus to find a flat battery courtesy of my automatic dash cam...
Only away for a week but parked where the cam would have been on and off all week and forgot about turning it off.
Not good when it was 1°c.. Brrrr.
Thankfully the car park offers a courtesy jump-start service, phew!
In case anyone was curious, I don't think it cuts the systems to save battery (I.e. Cig lighter fuse)... I only say think as it wasn't 100% dead but certainly didn't even have half a go at starting..

Parking mode on the dash cam should monitor the battery voltage and turn off when the battery is getting low. Is yours directly wired to the battery with no power monitor on the cable?Needed a jump start at 4am after getting back from Cyprus to find a flat battery courtesy of my automatic dash cam...

That would have been handy feature that while, I'm sure I've read somewhere, I'm guessing it doesn't have, although it is piggybacked onto the permanently live cigarette lighter fuse.

Not got my new one yet no, think that'll be another week. Also waiting on bits from Ali Express so I can wire it in without cutting any of the cars wires.
It’s on the list to do mate. Funds limited until after Christmas now. Bloody kids.Just need the foot rest now to finish it off
May have one going cheap when my new one arrives
What you want for it?

Crank oil seal is the only thing I have had to do that wasn't normal maintenance. Even on the same set of tyres that came with it :O
Not today, but last week haha. Back to stock wheels for the winter, 235/35-19 Conti icecontact2
Also my Remus GPFback exhaust got delayed another 1-3weeks :/ and ordered a Dragy and a turboinlet today and hopefully stage1 ecu within a week

Just got back from a week driving around France and my FR didn’t miss a beat. An absolute breeze on French motorways and on their bumpy rural roads.
Fourth time taking a Leon on a European road trip and always a joy without any problems, plenty of room in the back to bring back cheese and wine too!
