    Battery Drain?

    Unfortunately not :( Just over two years old, but I didn't get my last service through a SEAT main dealer.

    Battery Drain?

    Gave the car 6-7 hours on the charger yesterday afternoon, and managed to start the engine. Left it running for another 90 minutes or so on the engine. This morning the car is completely flat again. Trouble locking/unlocking, warning lights, flickering screens etc. and no engine turnover...

    Battery Drain?

    So I wasn't convinced that the charger I was using was actually doing anything, and managed to source a second one. Its a 6A charger with an indicator on it. Left it running for a few hours. Now I seem to have electrics that aren't flickering but the car won't start. Just getting lots of loud...

    Battery Drain?

    I've had the car hooked up to a 12V charger for a few hours (I know realistically full charging would take longer than that) but doesn't seem to have changed anything. After about 30 seconds it says "Power Supply - Workshop"

    Battery Drain?

    Thank you for all the replies. While I wish I was kitted out with a mulitmeter, I might have to rely on a local garage! The battery is from the brand Banner. I've managed to borrow a battery charger from a neighbour, so I'll give that a go. I've spoken to a local garage who are happy to run a...

    Battery Drain?

    Hi all, I've got a two-year-old Leon FR having some battery troubles. Last week I encounted the problem for the first time - the electrics turned on fine, but the car was struggling to start. After a few tries it did start, and I managed to drive my journey of around 20 minutes. The car seemed...

    Cupra 300 ST stolen this morning

    Sorry to hear about this. My Leon was stolen this time last year, and I’m just thankful that the keys were downstairs so the buggers didn’t come upstairs where I was asleep. Insurance were very quick to sort me out, only had to deal with SEAT and their terrible lead times for new vehicles after...

    Whats your honest opinion?

    I bought a 1.4 FR 125ps in Jan 2016 and absolutely loved it. Drove quite a few similar five door hatchbacks and the Leon always stuck out. Great looking car, lots of standard kit on the FR, and sporty feel to drive. After it got nicked in July last year, I went car shopping again, test drove...

    Android Auto - Not working Samsung S8+

    Strangely, AA only connects on my S8+ when I insert the USB-C cable in one particular orientation to the phone. If I flip it round... nothing. Can’t explain that one :think:

    Great to see this post, Luke! How does it match your original car in terms of spec?

    Options affecting Leon lead times

    Oh Luke :( I was going to make a joke about you not having to worry about rattles any more but you beat me to it on your other thread As others have said, the most important thing is that you & your passengers are OK. I don’t know what the best process is with insurance and PCH in this...

    I didn’t like the facelift lights when they revealed them, but they’ve grown on me more and more... and good job as I now own a facelifted Leon :D love the indicators front and rear in particular!!

    Options affecting Leon lead times

    Not sure what the exact times are at the moment as it depends on spec and trim level etc. Your dealer is best placed to advise on this. Experiences on here vary wildly, with waits from 2 months all the way up to 7-8 months. I've just collected mine and it took over 6 months from order to delivery.

    what did you and your mk3 leon do today

    Around 38-39 mpg on the way home in normal mode but not driving with economy in mind. Should get a bit better as the engine gets worn in. I'm happy with 40+!

    I'll get some proper pictures when it's light but the car is already filthy thanks to this weather!! Also it was lovely to meet Carlosram from here on the train from London and collect our cars together! :D

    what did you and your mk3 leon do today

    Picked my Leon up this morning from Ashford, 7 months after ordering! Had a 4+ hour drive back to Sheffield. All motorway on the way back but a nice smooth drive. Missed having one of these!! Can’t wait for the weather to clear up so I can confidently take it out on some twistier roads!
