    What Size Struts???

    Just a quickie, I now have a '58 plate 2.0TDi PD140 I want to lower it (probably on Eibachs), but apparently, there are 2 sizes of strut, 50mm and 55mm. Now, I understand that the part to measure is the bottom of the strut where it fixes into the "steering", and without taking wheels off...

    2.0 fsi, 2nd gear

    I have a 2.0fsi reference sport, 2007. 2nd gear has become a little grindy to get into, only happens going up the gears. Anyone else with a petrol 6 speed box experienced this? Any idea why its happening, all the other gears are fine, and changing down into second from third no problem...

    LED Sidelight Bulbs

    OK, when I had my MkI Leon, I used LED sidelight bulbs for a while, but after a while, they started flashing, I guess this was due to them developing a fault, or the car not liking them due to lack of resistance. Anyway, to the point, bulbs are available with resistors, advertised as "CANBUS...

    Dash Lit up on my 2.0FSi

    OK, had the car a month, happy up until this EPC and Engine Management?????? These don't go off until after the engine is running, thought they should go off before. Plus, when starting cold, has to turn over a few times before it'll fire up, OK when warm though. Suggestions?

    OEM wheel bolts.

    daft question maybe, but are all mk2 leon OEM alloys using the same type of wheel bolts? Or are some taper and some radius types. I'm taking the OEM 16s off my reference sport, and putting some 17s from a 2007 FR on.

    Facelift Cupra Seats

    I've just bought some facelift Cupra seats for my TDi 90. They are not the fully electric ones. I guess fitment wise they are a straight swap. But are the airbag plugs for the front seats the same, just a case of disconnect battery, unplug old seats, plug new ones in?

    Found this under my seat

    OK, found this under my drivers seat, on the floor. I know where its from, it runs, under the seat, front to back, in a channel, along the door side of the seat. Question, what is its purpose and is my seat still safe? I can see where it hooks on the front, but the back hook point...

    Sad news, Clyde Valley Racing have withdrawn from the BTCC. However, Cartridge World are aiming to run Adam Jones to the end of the season independantly from CVR. I'm sure this will get around pretty quickly, this is the quote I received via the Cartridge World Carbon Zero Racing group on...
