    Seat update found internal problem when removing spark plugs

    If it's a SEAT dealer then there should be a "warranty" with the car - get tore into that paperwork & see what conditions that has - they will be liable for something on the condition of the car - do do do check it out. don't know Marsh Finance so would really strongly advise you spent some...

    Seat update found internal problem when removing spark plugs

    Oh & ps: record & write down every conversation you have with the Finance Company & the Garage / Dealer - this can be very helpful if arrangements, agreements or relationships turn sour (a really good habit to get into).

    Seat update found internal problem when removing spark plugs

    who's the finance company & who is they? is it a SEAT dealer? I doubt they'll let you do a like-for-like swap on a car - HP / Lease agreements are usually car specific so you'd have to terminate anyway & go thro' a new HP / Lease agreement etc etc. Be interesting to hear if they re-build the...

    Engine Fan Question

    mine appears completely hit or miss, can't really say when it's likely to stay on, for e.g. it's been "on" after 1minute after start-up, 200yd drive up the track to the gate - got out to open the gate & the "fan" is on, & this was during the cold & snow. Another time it's been on after a long...

    Who's everyone insured with ?

    not just for new drivers - I'm 44, what got me interested was a colleague had a serious accident at work (fortunately he's absolutely fine) but talking with him made me question myself & my driving - decided it needed some attention...

    Engine Fan Question

    Have the same with a 1.6TDi - I mentioned it at the last service & was advised that it wasn't necessarily due to the engine demand on the fans but something to do with the aircon and/or compressor - can't quite recall the full explanation. However has never been on for as long as 5mins - maybe...

    Car storage

    very true deano very true, we should be allowed to wire the car up to 11000 volts for security - that'd feck 'em :) the insurance comment was not to give the insurance company a reason not-to-pay-out - soddin' minefield these days :(

    Car storage

    yes mate, two bikes with rear seats down, no problems - I think we took front wheels off & with careful placing to prevent damage (to the bikes if honest).
