    Well - that's it

    It's over - my LC went back to the lease company today and I'm not getting another one - not from choice, but I'm back on the Co. car scheme which doesn't allow Seat's ! So it's Astra Sri town for me now. :banned: Sad to see it go as it's looked after me well over the last 3 and a half years...

    LCR Change for VXR

    Erm.... seeing as we are talking Vauxhalls, I've recently (reluctantly) :cry: had to make the decision to get an Astra SRi Diesel, 150 BHP version as my company car list is a bit limited - anyone know what sort of simple mods are available, i.e. is serial port programming a possibility ?

    End of lease - BVRLA guide

    cheers - I've only got the usual few battle scars and some scuffed alloys, so should be OK - my neighbour is interested in buying it off the lease company and I don't know if they need to check it over beforehand - as long as he's happy, I can't see any probs !:rolleyes:

    de-icer

    I've used de-icer for the last 3 yrs with no probs on paintwork - I'd rather do it this way than scrape, as SEAT glass seems to be rather susceptible to scratching, which you will notice in the low winter sun !!!! ;)

    Lcr vs Fiesta ST on top gear

    Anyway, back on topic, if it is any minor consolation, I caught a Fiesta ST from about 200 yds behind on a slip road and yes, he was trying ! By the way I've only got an Elsie !

    Whiff removal

    After having the rubber seal thing replaced from over the pollen filter after the 3rd leak, all should now be well - however as it has been rather moist recently, the steady trickle of water into the passenger footwell apears to have caused the development of an unpleasant smell, akin to cat...
