07 plate, don't close unless you keep holding.

I'd take it to a dealer if it were my car. I got an emissions light on my car once, didn't affect the performance or anything, and even though the light went out shortly after (after I'd turned the car off and left it for a while) it still went in... They replaced some kind of sensor and touch...

When I had the michelins on the car was just as useless in snow. Maybe a 10 degree slope from standstill on snow and ice and I had to get pushed up it by a couple of nice people. (Driving out of a car park). They were pretty much fit for the bin, however - still had some decent tread on...

Oh I know, but even compared to my 1.3 corolla or the miniscule engined Gayo (Aygo) I got as a courtesy car it was awful.

I own an FR TDI. I really quite love it. I had the misfortune of being given a 1.6 Vauxhall Meriva hire car for about 1 hour the other day from Bristol International Airport> cross country > M5 > M4 > Newport, Wales. I've come to the conclusion that crap cars such as that cause road rage...

Mine started doing this yesterday, but for the past week or so it's been skipping when reading CDs (brand new ones I got for xmas, no less)...not something it's done before. And yesterday it refused to eject the CD for a few hours. Finally got it out though. I'm not happy with it and don't...

Freeze Frame: RPM: 7216 /min Load: 41.9 % Speed: 59.0 km/h That's about 36.6mph? Even in first gear that's not going to be at 7200rpm, surely? Maybe you have a faulty sensor.

23,000 miles 18", Michelin Pilot Exalto... need changing really, but still well legal. Mainly want to change them because I'm pretty sure they're starting to suffer, but I'm not driving much and I can't afford it right this second. I change my driving style accordingly when it's wet anyway...

I bought my car in May 07. Did I get some kind of seat assist roadside recovery type thing... is that still valid? If not, can anyone recommend a decent roadside assistance thing, like RAC/AA but not stupidly expensive like RAC seems to be. As much cover as possible, but not necessarily...

Totally agree with ZBOYD. My Leon (FR TDI) was new when I bought it. As was my previous car. I'll never buy a new car again. Ever.... unless the dealers stop abusing us. I can sort of see where they're coming from, but you'd be mad to buy a new car, when a nearly new (1 year old) example will...

If you drive a Leon, fit girls will expose their breasts as you drive past them. True story. I can think of no better reason to buy one. Drive both again, as much as you can. All cars seem to be losing their value stupidly fast atm.

It's not correct (it's due to it still being in foreign distance mode), it's normal. It's due a service every 10,000miles or 15,000km. 15k km is 9320(ish) miles. So it's perfectly normal. Just leave it until 10k miles and take it for a service. You'll have about 600 miles of "service now"...

My light came on once, then didn't come on again, when it was in for its service about 500 miles later they said it was a pressure sensor that had gone a bit screwy, so they replaced it under warranty.

Because it has less than half the power, and is probably awful. :D Plus not everyone wants a small car. Plus, I don't think anyone's THAT worried about MPG... but a diesel should be able to get significantly better mpg than say a 3L BMW petrol engine.

Why don't mine clip onto the floor? :( I think i need new ones.

How many miles have you done in it, total? You could see probalbly 52mpg if you stuck to the speed limit and didn't accelerate too hard. You'd probably be bored though. What you have there sounds about rightish. Having aircon on knocks about 3mpg off what you'd get with it on econ.

Voted no additives/no problems: a) Mostly Long throughout its life, done some shorter ones recently, mixed with longer ones b) Normal Diesel - had some BP ulitimate/equivalent but didn't notice any difference and it costs too much c) Mostly whatever the traffic's doing, half and half I'd say...

Pressure sensors in the exhaust system are prone to failure/fault. I've had one replaced now at its 20k service. Other than that - nothing in addition to what's already been mentioned. And when you drive the car you stop caring/noticing its flaws.

Maybe they're finding it difficult to squeeze out (enough) extra power from the 170 engine with the DPF in place to make it worthwhile for them?
