    Central locking mystery

    Hi Ladies and Gents Recently when I use the keyfob to remotelly unlock the car it will only unlock the drivers door after two button presses. Usually this would unlockk all the doors as it should. Does this sound like the battery might be getting low in the key and needs changing. The doors...

    Alloy delivery courier?

    I found interparcel good for delivery of alloys. You get the choice of their own service, UPS, DHL etc with various delivery options with them all. Used them a number of times and never any problems. Input weight and basic dims and you get quote online, print off dispatch notes etc...

    Which is quicker.....

    I had a go of my mates 180Gti for a few days. TBH I thought it would be faster than it was, being as its a bit lighter. Seemed like it needed to be kept high in the rev band to keep it going but they can shift! I feel far safer in the LC at speed than the Pug, cracking seats in the 180's bar...

    Lots of tree sap!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for that. I've got a Meguirs clay bar kit already just wondered if there was anything I could treat it with before using a clay bar to make it easier. If there's not then I will attack it with that.

    Lots of tree sap!!!!!!!!!!

    Just bought an Golf Gti thats been sitting under a tree for about three years so its absolutely covered in tree sap. Apart from clay baring it, is there any other pre treatment i can use before the old elbow grease etc. took three hours on my leon with the clay bar and it hardly had anything on...

    First questions on a LCR & FR TDI

    boot space I have seen from other posts that the boot it big enough to be child proof, but what about golf clubs? Does a normal golf bag fit without having to take clubs out? How many golf bags can you get in (roughly)? You can get the clubs in the boot with a standard sized bag, but I...

    Leon gives me a heart attack

    Ha ha ha, thankfully no. No dodgy pit crews ready to "change my wheels for bricks" Bridge of Dee roundabout, only another 3 or 4 roundabouts, 40 million traffic lights and uphill to get home.

    Leon Stinks!

    Yep, good idea to keep it running now again, I bought a 306 TDS with air con. The guy who had it before me hardly ran the car, and thought using the air con would "eat up the diesel". Turned out he needed a new compressor, condensor, hard pipes cos the fluid had sat stagnant for so long and...

    Leon gives me a heart attack

    After 8 months of relativly pain free motoring since I got my cupra, had a slight situation getting home. All was well, came to a nice busy roundabout, pulled away and then there was a judder then an almighty whoooosh sound. Great! why do these things happen at peak traffic time:censored: ...

    Is this Leon TDI the one for me?

    Steering wheel slightly left is a common thing on the leon I beleive, Im sure its been mentioned before, try a search. Unless you have a major pull to one side or uneven tyre wear its not too much to worry about. Got the same myself

    Platinum LCR - Dodgy Paint Finish or Rust?!

    I had something similar on my cupra, I put it down to the fact that with no mud flaps etc to stop the muck it builds up in this area as sometimes after a few quick washes you dont get into those hard to reach places. Polished mine last week and it came off no bother and the paint underneath was...

    Tried to take some arty night time shots.....

    Tried to take some arty night time shots.....

    Just checking, when I bought mine a few months back I looked at one out at Inverurie and thought it might be that one. Not many going about in Blue, stands out in a crowd.

    For those wanting to honeycomb the CUPRA R bumper (upper)

    Just a thought, but if you managed to get a lower grill (bit under the bumper) on the cheap could you "cut it up" to get the extra honeycomb you need to fill the space at the top, you would have some left to do more if required. May not be cost effective or physically possible, just a...

    I thought something looked different when i logged on. Looks spot on. Nothing like a bit of spring time re-decorating!

    Lacquer problems - not on Brembo's

    Dont think it has been repaired. Dealer went round the whole car measuring paint thickness and all seemd to be in order. Also went over the whole door with a fine tooth comb for signs of overspray and the wasn't any. You can usually tell if it has been painted after repair and there are no...
