Yup really pleased with the results.
No locking ones. But. It generic bolt ends. Bit anyone could have the fitting.
I still have original locking bolt on each wheel. May paint them to look the same as the. NEw ones.
But will look for a set that locks first.
Here's a pic of the fog.
80's style!

If I could ask what OBDII port reader do you use, I've a Bluetooth one that works on my other VW group car with Torque lite but not on my Leon, plus I've got VCDS and that works ok, so the OBD port is ok.

cheers.

I got it from a guy with vcds I had round one day to scan the car for £5 think you can get them on eBay for a tenner. Ignition is on yes? Not started but on.

Another new drivers door lock module. Always the same microswitch that fails, the one that detects if the door is open or not.

Back bumper gifted with a soft crash by a pregnant lady whose belly looks like her Audi's airbag! Just a dent and a scratch. Anyway will swap by the Cupra R soon...

Cheers Andrew, that looks like ones I see on Ebay but went with the other ones for sale on Ebay as they had more information in the description and looked to meet my requirements (note: none of them actually state they work on VW group vehicles, which is no surprise as VW use a unique to them CAN protocol based on the ISO standards).

Found mine also works on BMW but not Jag's.

cheers

I stopped being lazy and got it out the car on reading this. Not sure in v1.5 is much different to v1 but this one has no issue with the 1.8t me7.5 ecu
