Got the front all out the way but the driver side rear seat "the back bit of the seat" the handle you pull up to lean the seat forward....has snapped. Not really a bit deal but it's got to come out at some point. Anyone have to deal with this issue of broken handle?

About 1 or 2 inch of water. Pass side rear.

That's pretty much what mine looked like a couple of years ago. When I could hear the water sloshing around while I was driving, that's probably a sign to sort it out.

When I parked on a hill, I could get a litre jug in there and fill it up a few times over.

I received today the most gorgeous headlights I've ever seen for a 1M leon... DOUBLE PROJECTORS w/LED halos. Picked em up from a friend of a friend for 60 euros. He got them for free from a customer at work years ago. Never been used. H7 bulbs

Do you mean this.
Not sure on part number but if it's this there will be a million and one in the scrap yard

So I’m inspecting my blower fan, but the video I’m using to help has different located connectors, which ones do I need to take off the fan motor?
Any help appreciated!

Im excited to not have to swap everything over to a K04-23 platform for more power.

What do you lads think about that cast manifold? Decent till I go big turbo later on?

My mk1 LC hesisates to start some mornings, it will always start but takes longer than it should or on the second go. Sometimes it will turn over at the last second of turning the key but then stuggles to stay running and bogs down. I take the key out and try again and it fires up fine. Any ideas?

5 more litres of concentrated coolant bought!

Still not chased down the cause of the loss... family stuff going on means no time to spend under the bonnet lately.
