    Rear brakes binding urgent help

    Handbrake still free? Took the caliper off and seen if the piston winds back in easily enough? Could be a seized piston.

    Rear Breaks Pads - Bad uneven wear, possibly binding?

    Just need someone to step on the brake pedal while you bleed them. You can change all the fluid if you want but can be difficult to bleed if air gets into the abs pump. Think I lost 200ml at most and just topped up. Few guides on here but if you can move a spanner then it's pretty easy.

    Rear Breaks Pads - Bad uneven wear, possibly binding?

    Did it myself. Took less than an hour to complete. Lost hardly any brake fluid so was easy to bleed back up.

    Quick favour needed! Found leak from hose!

    Got the hose from the dealers. It goes from the thermostat housing to the oil cooler and back again. You have to buy both pipes as there attached to each other and come in at an eye watering £105! Part number is 8n0121088 Couldn't get it cheaper anywhere else so bit the bullet. Bit of a pain...

    Just got to try and find the hose part number now! Seems you can only buy the full kit online. Trip to the stealers it is!

    Quick favour needed! Found leak from hose!

    Yes I'm with you! Found out it's not the cap! It's leaking out of a pipe between the oil cooler and thermostat housing area!

    Quick favour needed! Found leak from hose!

    Could someone pop out and have a look if theres a rubber o ring on their expansion tank cap. Started loosing coolant after checking the level on mine the other day and seem to remember on my old Golf there being a rubber seal round the cap? Thanks

    Why did you want a LC/LCR

    Always loved the shape of them since they where released. I always think there abit rarer than the golf....and cheaper to buy! Had a Cupra first for 3yrs then sold up in 2009 then have just got an LCR in black which is what I wanted first time round but couldn't afford the insurance at the time...

    New stereo not saving settings

    Happened on the headunit in my Gfs mk4 golf. Think you do as above and switch the red and yellow wires round. Atleast that's what I did on the alpine wiring harness.

    To tint, or not to tint ?

    Yeah get it done by a professional otherwise it will look ****! I'm going for a medium tint on the side and a dark tint on the rear window. Think the bloke i spoke said there was 4 shades. light, medium, dark and limo. Someone on here does it for a living. Think its Nev-lcr?

    Alloy wheels 18" Cupra R

    i'd say £350-£450 depending on the condition and how much someone wants them. I paid £450 for mine with decent tread on but they had slight kerbing on each wheel.
