Update, as my front brake pads were down to the metal and the discs were pretty worn too, took it in to CS Motor Engineering again. Happy with the service, they replaced them using Pagid parts. I had a chat with the mechanic, he's a former Audi dealer mechanic. Originally said up to £180, came...

yeah, I believe the led lights were one of the issues they improved as part of the facelift

I have a pre facelift SE which came with LED lights, I believe it had some pack or other. There are probably better LED lights out there, they aren't particularly effective in the rain, you're probably fine with standard lights with decent bulb upgrades.

That's troubling, I'd heard SG Perch were better than Arnold Shark

I went to cs motor engineering, £90 all in for a minor service. Can't fault them really, they could have done me for discs and pads, but said call back in about 2000 miles and they'll check them again. Car has run well since the service, but it was running fine before. I'll certainly use them...

There is a bit of an issue, every time the car auto starts when pulling away, the camera feed appears in the rear view mirror, guess it needs a permanent supply, either that or I turn stop/start off

Great guide, got my Christmas dashcam fitted today using the method at the start with a hardwire kit from eBay. I went for the Toguard dashcam integrated into the mirror https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183308756986 it's a neat unit with a nice...

I'm underwhelmed, changed a few things on the app, but not seeing any differences on the car

ha ha, I won't judge them on that, thanks, maybe a bit far out, but will consider it

thanks, that came up in a Google search, certainly good distance wise, will see how they look and what sort of price they come up with

I see from their webpage that they also specialise in Bentley's, so that figures

Thanks for the replies all, hoping to find somewhere a bit closer to home, but I'll certainly keep your suggestions in mind

Hi all, I tried posting this in the servicing forum but it appears to be deader than disco. As above, I'm looking for a decent independent garage in Newcastle upon Tyne to service my 15 plate Leon 1.2 TSI to Seat specs and stamp the book and not to take my eyes out. Thanks in advance

Anything further on this?

Following this, I'm interested

Mine's from June 2015 and doesn't have full link

I wouldn't really describe kwikfit or ATS as pros, although they do have the kit. I put a previous car in to kwikfit and their machine missed a significant leak, which an independent picked up. I would stick with an independent specialist

Fair enough, thanks for the replies

Hi all, Just had my car (15 plate Leon 1.2TSi) in for MOT, it passed with one advisory (misting on a shock absorber), as part of the process, the garage also did a "vehicle health check" which I received a video of. The technician describes a drive shaft oil seal as "sweating". There is a small...

Did they ask you for £90 up front for them to "investigate"? Sent from my P027 using Tapatalk
