  1. Front splitter on a Tdi 140??

    That actually fits the standard bumper well - the outer lips ine up nicely with the grill where the fogs are.
  2. Engine Cover Part Fell Off - Known Fault?

    my 14otdi also had the same bracket fail. Noticed it by strange rattle when at idle. When I next took the engine cover off the rear bracket came with it. As the metal had fractured there was not a realistic option of fixing it. I simply took the bracket off and binned it. Engine cover...
  3. Alignment settings

    Thanks for the heads-up about HiQ in Notts - do you know if all HiQs have the same kit (and people who can work them?)
  4. Alignment settings

    I'm planning to get the alignment sorted on my '06 TDi Sport (inner edge of rear tyres wearing very quickly). Does the sport chassis have significant differences to the Stylance that it's based on that I should make sure the garage are aware of? Guessing it's a camber problem -can the...
  5. Mk2 Leon Rear wiper mod

    Just done this to my Leon. Came to £27 at leicester VW (always find them cheaper than leics seat or leics skoda!?). Only slightly tricky bits were prising the old wiper off the spindle and making sure the new wiper was aligned correctly. For future reference I advise that you mark where the...
  6. Headlight adjustment for driving on the right

    Looks like stickers are the way to go then. Next question is where to stick them. An ancient escort I used to have had obvious marks on the headlights to show where to put the stickers but the leon has nothing. Have googled and can't find a fitting guide. Look forward to any help andrew
  7. Headlight adjustment for driving on the right

    Is there an easy way to adjust the headlights for a trip to france in a couple of weeks? I'd prefer not to put the stickers on the headlights and I'm sure there must be a way to do it with the lights themselves. Does anyone have experience of this and how do you go about doing it? thanks...
  8. Bonnet Struts

    search for my name, there was a big thread about this 18m ago or so (called "gas struts for bonnet" or similar) Never actually got round to doing the mod though
  9. Who is picking up a new car on 01.03.10 and what is it

    spoken with the conviction of someone who doesn't realise they're talking bollocks
  10. Falken choices, FK52 or Ziex ZE912?

    I need a new pair of tyres for my 1.9 diesel. The 452 and 912 seem to get decent reviews but i'm undecided which is best for me. I like the idea of assymetrics as if there is any uneven wear between the tyres I can rotate them without having to get them off the rims, are there any other...
  11. Specialists in/near Nottingham for an FR suspension upgrade

    had several bits of servicing done on my Skoda at DSB autocare in Bulwick, search on google for their details. Been very impressed with their service and they're good on price as well.
  12. Scraping metallic sound?!?!

    same happened tome - small stone lodged between the brake disc and the metal plate behind the disc - a bit of persuasion with a screwdriver and it was out
  13. ST in Francis Seat Leicester

    Well, what a dissapointment. Having read the reviews online and comments here I thought that the Exeo ST would be a good replacement for my Octavia estate (old version) I admit that I didn't get to drive it (only arrived at the dealer the previous day) so it was just a sit-in and look...
  14. Correct Tyre Spec

    would be interested in this as well. When front tyres are at the recommended pressures they look underinflated but centre of tread is wearing quicker. Have decreased the pressure slightly to try to sort out the wear by 1psi and handling's not changed noticeably but i'm not convinced that 1psi...
  15. Suspension Problem!!!

    we've got a week old baby and she seems to love the jiggly ride in our tdi sport. it sends he to sleep far quicker than the softer ride in my work octavia
  16. Exeo pre-launch press release and images

    I really want to like this car but I can't stop thinking of a Vauhall Omega from a few years back...
  17. 2009 Mk2 Leon facelift.

    Anyone know what the 'normal' models will look like - I'm assuming that the ones released are the replacements for the FR and Cupra?
  18. Gas lifters for bonnet?

    here's a thread about it with a good fitting guide (in spanish) http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=150994&highlight=gas+struts
