    Burning smell/strange strong smell

    I'd love to see what comes of this if anything as my coolant needs topping up around the same as my oil does now lol not got any strong/burning smells tho and no wet patches when parked up or smoke of any colour from the exhaust. Had the breather pipe fitted which did slow the oil consumption a...

    h7 cambus compliant bulbs

    I'm sure that the bulb failure system doesn't cover the dipped beam bulbs as i had one blow and it didn't throw the light up onto the dashboard. I assume SEAT think that you'll be able to see if you have a headlight bulb out lol ;) Actually thinking about it that was a nightbreaker bulb that...

But what they told me to do was to: Leave the car to sit still for a few days, then when you turn the engine on for the first time get someone to see if the...
