Mine's turned into a Skoda :) Must update my pic!

3.5 years since the previous reply :)

Yup - as soon as the temperature drops you'll see a load of these beep threads springing up :)

Stealers = dealers :) How's the car treating you?

Nothing so exciting unfortunately - got a [boring diesel] company car coming in July so had to get rid of the Cupra. Didn't quite expect it to go so damn quickly though :cry:

Not me unclefester :)

If you check the small print on the receipt I gave you, you'll find the sale was on the strict understanding that a loud DV was NOT fitted :lol: Hope it's treating you well. Better change my pic :(

Driving style and journey type make an incredible difference. I had a V5 Tolly before my LC and they both return similar MPG and mileage per tank. On a motorway journey, I can get around 330 miles, more if you really try. My daily drive to work and the gym (daily??) however (both very...

And from me too. Group buy being discussed at the moment makes this a steal.

Trying desperately to avoid another multi page thread monster :) Try scraping the metal prongs inside the coolant bottle with a flat bladed screwdriver - worked for loads of people here, including me - been over a month now. A glorious, beep free month.

I think the general opinion is that your best bet is a dealer - usually cheaper than places like eBay. £18 or thereabouts I think.

if memory serves, small claims court has a limit of £500 - or it did a couple of years back when my deposit-robbing student landlord felt it's wrath [:@]

Ok, ignore this.

Looks nice, congrats :) Better than the Celica :whistle:

I did the plug off and on thing - no effect (the scrape cured it, if you missed my earlier post). If it ever happens again I'll resort to some prong-wobbling rather than scraping to see what happens. Is this getting sexual again?

Yup :) TBH, having it smoothed (and a nice job it is too) was worth £40 to me alone, in terms of putting in the effort and inevitably knackering my existing airbox and having to buy another anyway!

Speaking of which, I've just bought one from a chap on eBay - ready smoothed, including a custom 3" feed for £40 including postage - a bargain I thought. If that was anyone here, thanks :)

slightly embarrassing to admit (but I will anyway :p) - the first time I read about scraping these prongs, I automatically assumed it was the ones on the contact with the plug (e.g. outside the coolant bottle) and was pissed off when, some scraping later, it didn't fix it. Only spotted the long...

Not necessarily - my coolant level was spot on perfect and the metal probe thingies were a nice and shiny metal colour with no obvious crap covering them - scrape did the trick however.

Another one for the 'it worked' camp :) Congrats.
