Lol, I think it's probably a reflection of the rear lights of the car parked in front of it!

Heat it up first with a hairdryer until the plastic is soft enough, then get something behind it (if you use your hand, put gloves on or you'll burn yourself) and push it out till it's almost back in shape. Less filler (MUCH less) and a tidier job completely

Yeah, thanks. It's gone now - replaced with a delete pipe and a new turbo with remap. Big smiles!!

Bought 10 months ago with 65k and a full service history! 73k now. needed a new turbo too which is why I took the EGR off before it went in for the turbo (just in case it needed to be mapped out)

I put a guide up about a week or two ago if that's what you were looking for... http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=4647020#post4647020

How did you manage that if you're on a 6 month driving ban? :ban: what were you banned for anyway? don'y worry - I saw - totting up

What is a forced induction kit? If you mean one of those little electric fans that sits in the air intake and supposedly forces more air into the engine, don't bother. They actually reduce power as their presence obstructs the airflow more than the tiny extra amount of air that the fan...

I had the same issue on my son's Leon a few weeks ago. It's not too big a job to get the door lock out, even when it's deadlocked. If you remove the rear seat you can access enough of the door panel to remove it from inside the car with the door shut. With the door panel off, you can usually...

Gotcha, right :lol: Just go the the same garage over and over - eventually you'll get to know the tester! I know what you mean though - I've recently changed the garage I use for MOTs because the old tester has retired and been replaced with a miserable w**ker who always finds something...

:lol:Nice one! Can't believe I didn't get that. So you're only really saving one letter (or two if you spell it 'yeah'). Ton be honest it would take me longer to think about how to shorten it than it would to type those two extra letters :rofl: Can I ask why you specifically want cheap...

Seriously...:confused: you're asking for a dodgy MOT station? On a public forum?

what does "yh" mean by the way? I managed to decipher most of the OPs posts but that one still eludes me :lol:

I doubt you'd manage a 2 hour response time given that you are in the USA and the OP is in the UK :lol::lol: Besides, he really doesn't need a locksmith - he's clearly mechanically minded enough to get the existing lock mechanism off so he should obviously be able to replace it with a new unit...

one of these? just over 420 bhp, if you can live with being different and having to change gear with your right hand ;-)

Cheap cable is about £6 off eBay if I remember correctly - that's what I have and the free version of the software (not licensed) works fine for resetting fault codes. Are you local to Southampton? If so I can have a go at resetting for you...

Have you got VCDS to reset the warning?

This is exactly how I read this thread topic too :lol::lol: except I wear leather driving gloves, dark sunglasses and a dark coloured suit, Transporter style :drive2:

Smart repair wanted £300 to repair a small scuff on the top corner of my rear nearside bumper/wheelarch - I don't consider that to be 'not much money' ( it isn't a Seat though, not that that should make a difference really)

If it's petrol, yes (to a certain extent) - I believe the dump valves fitted as standard are recirculating ones which is why they're quiet, but if you open up the air intake (with an induction kit) you're more likely to hear the noise as the turbo "dumps" the excess pressure into the system. If...

Going to try this myself this morning - it seems to happen every morning throughout the winter, and it's not THAT cold...
