    overheating

    arse! I was kindof hoping someone would ocme along and say... "no, didn't you realise theres a button under the dash, which when flicked, will cure your overheating woes, whilst at the same time replace your door seals, and make your front splitter completley resistant to speed bumps"...

    overheating

    Hi Guys, On the way to work yesterday the temp gauge flashed and beeped at me. I checked the coolant which was a little low, so I topped it up with about 1/4 ltr of water. Today, on the shortest of short trips, the gauage was going from 90-red light. Its never gone over 90 in its life, and...

    advice needed please - what to fix??!

    thanks for all the replies guys. Thinking about it, the car was serviced not 7 months ago, by the same garage. No mention then of any issues. So I cant see the brakes going form "not worth mentioning" to "require immediate attention" in under 7 months / 2.5k miles. Unfortunatley, I am...

    advice needed please - what to fix??!

    Hi Guys, I had my 03 LCR back from the stealers for its MOT, as they had an offer on, and cost very little. Anyway, whilst it passed, they have flagged up quite a few problems, so here goes: These items require your urgent attention: - rear discs/drums corroded £261.98 - suspension...

    Tapping noise from the engine of a Cupra?!

    Probably the charcoal filter. They all seem to tick, quite normal.

    removing soundproofing?

    Thanks for the reply, I read somewhere about risk to the paintwork from heat? Does it act as a heatshield aswell or shouldnt I be worried? :think:

    removing soundproofing?

    Was thinking of removing the soundproofing on my LCR's bonnet. Is this a common thing to do? Is it a bit noisy without?

    Cold air feed

    I fitted my induction kit a few weeks ago, but being in a rush, never put the cold air feed in. I was playing around with it last night, trying to decide where to put it... does anyone have any recommendations/pics? ive seen it going to the foglight which would be ideal, but from reading...

    DV relocation kit

    Well, Ive had a couple of hoses fail recently, so that was part of my thinking. Also noticed that the DV seems pretty hot. Mostly though i was hoping it would tidy things up under the bonnet a bit, as it looks like an octopus orgy at the moment!

    DV relocation kit

    Im considering buying one of these kits from Forge, Ive looked at the fitting guide on their website, but being thick as I am, was wondering if there wre any guides with more pictures to make it easier to follow? Ideally with an aftermarket TIP fitted. What do you guys who've done it think...

    yellow faded paint?

    It was a ball park figure, although the bloke who owns the company is a family freind, so (hopefully) he'd do me a good deal. I suppose if i knew I was going to keep the car for a long time I would do it, but bearing in mind im on high miles, and will probably only have it for another couple...

    yellow faded paint?

    Someone posted they had it done for £800. I went to a local proffesional spray company, and the guy gave me a "ball park figure" of £1800. If I could get it done for £800 I would, but as much as I love my LCR, I cant justify £1800

    yellow faded paint?

    My yellow lcr (as most do) also suffers from paint fade on the obvious areas... fuel cap, spolier etc. I did price up a re-spray but it was just way too expensive for me at the moment. Would is be possible to respray the non-faded areas, to match the faded ones? To make it less obvious...
