very useful thanks! why on earth did they not put 312 brakes on the FR? Car is no smaller or lighter or powerful than the Cupra?! just been to look at one I saw last night and its gone already :(

so would 312mm brakes from a TT etc fit onto a 05 plate Leon FR TDI 150 or would that already have that size? also whats the different on a FR+ over an FR? Going to look at one so be good to know the difference! Cheers

No its not that far up the road, its in a unit closer to Charminster Rd. No change to Braziers.

I drove past Hankinson Rd the other day and it looks like a tiny back road garage behind some houses!! But as you all say, the labour rates shoul be cheaper for sure!

Skip the dealer and try APD VAG near Wareham. The guys are on here too and Paul is ex-Bmth SEAT. http://www.apd-vag.co.uk/apd%20homepage.shtml

Is that the case? Heard, and had a letter from them saying they are closing the current Bournemouth sales and workshop setup and opening a workshop only elsewhere in Bournemouth and just keeping the site at Sway for sales - whether this will become Skoda and SEAT now, who knows. Seems that...

Do we know if the rusty batch issue is resolved on these now, or is it worth a quick coat of hammerite before fitting?!

Hi Sarah What setup do you have on the Fabia - is it a vRS? I'm looking to improve a standard setup vRS without having to stretch to a Koni FSD/Eibach combo. Thanks Ryan

Hi Pete Glad you're both enjoying the Ibiza and keeping it looking nice :) A coat of Meguiars polish and Gold class wax on top always kept the deep rich wet look shine for me! Here's my Ibiza replacement - a Fabia vRS, very pleased with it, handling not quite up to the Ibiza yet but I...

We have now encountrered this quite badly on the bonnet of my other halfs 54 plate 1.2 Mk4 Ibiza, which is now out of 3 yr warranty. It was noticed by the car valeter who mopped and polished the car a couple of weeks ago and we can see it quite a lot. We wondered if it was due to heat from...

Well all seems ok, but bit of a noise from the back - not sure if its tyre noise in general (was not there before I dont think) or if they are bedding in, or if the bearings need looking at?!

Went for it and got 2x Toyo T1R fitted yesterday to the back (front to back swap). Doing some miles tomorrow so will see what they are like.

cant get goodyears for love nor money though!

Ok so no Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 in the country at 195 45 16! Well the only ones that are I cant get hold of - unless anyone else knows of anywhere? Limits my options down to Toyo Proxes T1R Yoko S Drive Pirelli P Zero Nero Michelin Exalto Maybe BF Goodrich G Force Profiler or Dunlop Sport...

thanks mark, but been there done that x2 sets, had issues with both so took them off the car along with spacers, so would need bolts really if i was to get 10mm spacers - do they do hubsentric ones, as could sell my 20mm ones on here I guess.

what length for 10mm spacers? does bill still do these or where else can I get them?

15mm with standard bolts? stopped using my 20mm spacers due to issues with bolts and stud conversions. maybe I need to get some 15 or 10mm ones and use the standard bolts if they are long enough?

sounds familiar! new engine mounts and semi fixed zorst now, but dont think that knocking will ever fully go, just the way it is!

I'm of the same dilema at the moment. Been using Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 for the last couple of years - awesome tyres. But they are like rocking horse dung at the moment in the UK at 195 45 16 V size! Other options are Proxes T1R and Pirelli Neros, but dont really want to compromise as I...

just been to gsf and got a beru one for £45 + VAT. They do a cheap one at £35 and pricey one at £55 so went for middle of the road as thats the one they sell most of ad beru make them for vag. if it stops raining i might be able to fit it tonight!
