    Cruise Control gone

    There is also a switch on the clutch pedal as depressing the clutch also shuts off the cruise control. I heard they're only about a tenner for the clutch pedal switch.

    Car-crazy couple opt for motorsport marriage

    Yeah it'd be so funny if they used this site. Looks like they had a great day though and fair play to them for doing what they wanted.

    read countless, how to's none of them work, remote central locking

    Try unplugging the battery for 30mins as it's been known to help clear up a few locking issues before. However the passenger side door lock will probably need replacing/repairing.

    Loose wires in the connecting plugs is my guess. My driver seat doesn't always go back unless i touch the wires.

    I think my windscreen wiper motors knackered

    Yeah it's not a long job, just a bit fiddly if the wiper arms are slightly seized to the linkage. Take your time and you'll be fine. :)

    2000 Toledo climate control panel broken - help

    I used to love raiding the scrapyard for bits with my dad when i was a kid. Seeing all the wrecked cars and classics just sat there slowly rusting away into the ground. It's a shame they don't let you do that anymore as the scrapyard used to be great for finding those little pieces you need...

    V5 engine oil - which grade to use?

    I don't think they would use mineral oil in a garage as it's poor stuff to be honest. I would say it's semi synthetic - the minimum reccomended for these engines i believe. It doesn't matter which brand oil you use to be honest but i use Comma or Havoline in some cars (Texaco). I wouldn't really...

    2000 Toledo climate control panel broken - help

    I heard stealers are more like £500 in some cases! I think either one should fit, as long is it's a Mk1 Leon, or Mk2 Toledo you're taking it from.

    V5 10V spark plugs - Which are the best value for money

    No but we do suffer the -20hp compared to the newer v5! :( Yeah the local store seems good on price for plugs, still not as cheap as my old 106's plugs were though £1.50 each lol

    Part number required - Gear gaiter part

    Depends on if it's from the Mk1 Leon, or Mk2 Leon. If it's Mk1 Leon, then it should fit, but just remember to change the gearknob as yours won't be a 6 speed. :)

    Service Light

    It should be in your handbook, or it's in the how to section on here. Have a search for reset service light as it's a pretty common question. :)

    I think my windscreen wiper motors knackered

    The wiper motor died on my car and i got a linkage and motor from ebay for about £60. The listing said it were from a 2001 seat Leon, but the parts were covered in Skoda stamps and had a different electrical connector on the motor. I had to cut the outer casing off the connector, and find out...
