Great looking car. Would love a to drive a Cupra to see the difference against my FR.

Past few days have consisted of washing, claying, polishing, waxing, vacuuming then doing a once over the car for its mot which it passed with one advisory for a minor exhaust leak, then had another go replacing the rear discs and pads and couldn't get the discs to slide off around the carriers or undo the carriers either so looks a trip to the garage is needed.

I think Dan's has done 88K or close to it. You could smell clutch when pulling away from me on Sunday.

Hi Gareth, to be fair then that's not bad usage with them miles. My first 2.0 TDI had done just over 105K when the clutch went. Although that's more miles it was only 140bhp and never mapped.

Still it's not fun spending money on things like that :(

Yeah never a nice thing spending money on your car when you dont expect it. Although you run the risk if you increase the performance.

Very true pal, if you unleash the horses you have to expect something to give eventually :cry:

Apologies for the dirty car. Not had time to clean her.

Looks great Danny, TRC front splitter would finish your car off so nicely! Got the bottom lip on my bumper wrapped in black also today:

Nice touches fellas. Looking good.
Seriously tempted for some black roof and front bit wrap myself.

eventful day

got sick of my Cupra sounding like a diesel so bought a new cam chain and tensioner.
Bit of an epic but got there in the end.

Fuel pump cam follower still looking good after 20k miles. will probably replace it at the new service.
