Hopefully fixed the drivers door leaking into the footwell gonna do the other 3 doors ASAP just to be safe. Then got to dry it all out so I can get my new mats put in. Was thinking of whipping the two front seats out and pulling the carpet up and putting some heaters in it to try and dry it out. I can also run all my power cables and RCA leads for my system while the carpet is up.

Just treated my self to a new non-leaking sump plug and low level oil sensor. Absolutely spoiling the Leon! Should add a few horses at least...

Fitted my wind deflectors. And took delivery of my lower rear boot spoiler can't wait to get it painted and fitted. Then went to start the car after fitting wind deflectors to find my battery has gone flat. Grrrr

No I didn't why should I have. On every other car I have fitted them to I have always put more tape on them but for some reason I didn't today. I can always whip them off and add more i suppose.

im not sure if you have to but mine only have a bit of tape on each end, i was expecting to have some in the middle as well. I was gonna put more on just for some added security
