Good insight, that is a little low for durability. I've found on lighter cars, especially silver that toughcoat gives a very good finish, its quicker and easier to apply than a wax and also has good durability. Could be an alternative for the threads original query. Gareth

93k on my 53 lcr. But very sadly having to sell. Gareth

Very informative post as I too have been looking at one of these in estate form. From what I can gather from research is they are essentially an audi b7 with more toys and I think this is correct, the modernised diesel engines (cr?),the benefit of which seems to be that these do not suffer from...

Ive heard and seen good things from Auto finesse Essence which is also on budget, I personally have not used it, but I do use a lot of their products, I can vouch for their spirit wax and illusion wax - both are awesome! Gareth.

Apologies, should also have mentioned the car:whistle: its a mk1 Leon Cupra R (2003) Gareth

Hi all - I believe my front anti roll bar bushes to be causing a metallic sounding rattle over blistered road surfaces, and a cursory inspection found that they look to be tired. I want to order some fresh ones but before doing so would just like to confirm the diameter of the roll bar, as I...

Great post, some very useful info. Gareth

Thanks, I hope so. All is well so far although I hate this time of year with dark evenings there's little opportunity to inspect things. Gareth.

Hi All, I have recently purchased my first LCR. From research it seems the car is well known on here, with at least three previous owners being listed in here, one of which I got in contact with before buying it off the guy that had the car before me. Its a Platinum 53 plate LCR which...

Brakes look very fresh. My LCR has had the wheel s refurbed in light silver colour I think they look great, they are defo lighter n colour than standard. I'll get some pics up when I can.

Wow great read, Just read start to finish. You have worked wonders on the old girl! Being a newbie I am keen to read as much servicing / oem work as poss and you've given me a good in sight. Im also quite local to you (when your not in Scotland!) im about 30mins from Plymouth. Gareth
