Firstly...Manual does not say any words how to change bulb of indicator (outer light) in ST, just regular Leon.
Secondly..Picture which describes how to remove outer light to change indicator bulb is useless. It shows only light with some crazy arrows.

I understood that I have to unscrew fixing screw, ok, and then to do a bit rotating movement outwards from the boot.
It is impossible to move light directly out, you have to rotate it a bit.
And these fixing points cracks easily. As you see, both fixing points stays in a place, fixing points at light cracks..

I have a feeling somebody screwed fixing points into light too heavily and they both cracked with first try to put light out. Second light I was able to do it without any cracks and everything is ok.

After much deliberation I finally took the plunge and opted for a DTUK fsr+ tuning box rather than a remap. I didnt want to risk the TD1 flag given the car is less than a year old. Hopefully be fitting the tuning box on Tuesday! That will mean its going to pi55 down on Tuesday as I have to fit on the drive.

I also have purchased the obdeleven pro kit.

Finally managed to fit the tuning box. First impressions on the map (currently running 3+2) are excellent. A decent increase in shove as per the butt dyno readings, nice oem feel to the map with no drop off in the higher rev range as reported with map 1&2 and no issues with dsg jerky shifts as reported running 3+3 so I'm happy with current setting. Fitting was a doddle, the hardest part was trying to remove the lower boost sensor. I ended up breaking the bloomin' retaining clip on the sensor but join is tight so clip not needed

 

[who.am.i]

So today I thought I'd give the car a quick clean but ended up being out there for 4.5 hours as after I clay barred, it left holograms all over the car. Out came the polish and this rectified the problem thank god

Yes it is. It looks great in so many different lights. And depending on the cleaning products I use, it can be really glossy
