what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[ViperSlider]

Emailed both Seat Warranty and Seat HQ for updates on anything on Friday... Total silence...

So I popped in to the dealership (as a passenger, still no courtesy car) where the car is sat with it's heart ripped out and it has moved from one side of the site to the other but still no engine, no sign it has even been ordered and Workshop manager had left for the day by the time I got there but was assured I'd get a call today at some point....

Created the first how-to video for the Leon, many more to follow Seat Leon MK3 is not that well represented on Youtube, time to make a difference

That's rubbish, sorry buddy.

Have they called yet? If not, is it worth giving them a buzz to find out what's going on?

Not the time to get all 'FaceBook Karen' yet, but would be good to remind them that you're the one being inconvenienced here, and would appreciate some sort of timescale as to the car being fixed.

Good luck!

Not exactly today, but I had the clutch and flywheel replaced, that stung my wallet a bit!
This is my first DSG car, and I was really hoping they didn't find anything wrong with the rest of the gearbox, mechatronic etc, but all good

Paid the car tax - Ouch

If it makes you feel any better, Mrs Cubbington’s Smart Car costs the same to tax as our Cupras

Today I finished fitting white illumination of all buttons and switches from Ateca FL/Golf to my Leon. I also have heated steering wheel from Leon MK4, so now it feels complete and much more modern. Last thing to "fix" is two buttons and knob on the side of the screen, but that's problem for the future

Bit late now.. another lesson learned after the fact - check the colour of the lights if replacing your electric window switches! (if you're bothered about them matching the rest of them!)

I'm here to cheer everyone up on hump day! Glad I helped at least one person!

It almost worked - except you've reminded me that it's only Wednesday

Ah, but it's halfway through Wednesday, so we're on the slippery slope towards the weekend...as Ted Lasso says, "Turn that frown upside down!"

What is it about this site and slippery stuff? Last week was all about lube!

I think we're all grown up enough to understand

Well for me it was a good day as I purchased two new PS4S Tyres in readiness for first track day of the year.

Will order some proper semi slicks next for the track set of wheels as those tyres are now nackered.

Just to add to the above conversation as I am retired every day is a weekend, something for those of you still working to look forward to - top up that pension.

Replaced the oval tips with 101mm thin walled round tips. This is the look I was going for

Obligatory fisting test of truth

What a difference!

So happy with this

Well, it is Fisting Friday after all!

If you've achieved the look you wanted then it's a great result!
