Still drives great and looking pretty good for 15yrs old.

So I love my Leon its a great car. But I have had an odd issue today. I don't do many miles and am still on the original battery (last year garage I think said volts were ok but Amps were low). Started the car today and cranked for longer than usual. Reversed off drive and drove fine but...

OK folks this is an odd one, I have searched and various things come up but i didn't get any warning lights. Car is a 2008 tfsi FR 55k and driving perfectly. I had just filled with petrol (incase that's relevant). And drove couple of miles home, as I turned on to drive I had 3 loud bleeps...

Gave my faithful FR its regular wash and wax today. Still comes up like new, just the stone chips on the bonnet that let it down.

I am starting to quite like the look of the new Leon FR Sport. Lots of the online videos show Blind Spot Warning and Puddle Lights. Looks like the Blind of Warning is part of a Pack for £615. Available on the FR Sport and above But I can't see anything re the puddle Lights? Rob

Today 27/08 first one I have seen on the road. Looked flipping lovely. :1st: enjoy..

Hi guys I have seen a similar fault on the MK3 thread but couldn't see anything here. The rear wiper on our 2010 5dr has started to come on by itself over the last few days, just randomly starting for no apparent reason. Has anyone else come across this or got a solution? Many thanks Rob

Hi folks Has anyone got a picture of the full leather seats in the 290 Lux that they could post please? I've had a good look on the net but seem few and far between. If anyone has any views on them would be good as well - I was about to order a straight 290 but have been offered a good deal...

Hi all, I have had my current Leon 10 years now and was lucky enough to get a pretty good plate when i bought the car. I have now seen an ex demo Leon and would like to transfer my existing plate to it (so an 08 plate to an 18) if I buy it. I have found info on line re retaining personal...

Okay folks, here is an odd one for you, so bear with me. Ibiza Mark V – 5 Door. 2010 First thing was the driver’s door wouldn’t open from the outside. Now I am really careful with cars but apparently it needed a new door handle (the internals I guess). So car went in and new handle was...

Hi all The driver's door handle of our 2010 Ibiza has felt a little stiff for a few days. It now refuses to open from the inside, opens fine from the outside. Will get it booked in to be looked at, but has anyone else experienced this or any ideas? The only other 2 issues we have had...

Hi Guys After 8 years of no issues (only 36k) and a FULL SEAT Service History, i got in the car this morning to discover that the ESP light was illuminated and i cant turn it off. :( My hunch is that this could well be the G201 Brake Pressure fault (mentioned in the SEAT Altea Sticky...

Hi guys Have done a search and a few things on Google but all for earlier cars. gf just got home and the boot is locked shut, I have tried locking and unlocking a few times but nothing, any help appreciated, is there an emergency internal release? Thank you Rob

Hi guys For the first time yesterday I was immediately behind a 65plate black Cupra with the sub8 wheels in Worthing. Really good looking car anyway what impressed me the most was the pops and bangs from the exhaust (it was only going slow) sounded fantastic, the exhaust looked normal spec...

Hi All Has anyone got the SC official SEAT boot liner, if so what do you think quality wise? I saw a couple on Amazon last week for a good deal cheaper but these now seem to have disappeared. Any recommendations, I think the rubber SEAT one is about £60 which isn't too bad I guess, they...

Hi Guys, Question about the LED side lights. Something I noticed today all the mk3s I have seen have either just the DRLs on or at night the DRLs and the dipped beam (the strip of 5 or 6 rectangular LEDs). What do the lights look like when the side lights are on (first position of switch)...

Thanks for advice guys, my FR 1.8 SC is now ordered. Was a tough decision as my Pre-facelift FR has really been a great car, in the past have been bored and changed cars after a couple of years but this one will have had for 7years by the time the new one arrives. .but think this is right...

Hi guys Well I think I have just about made my mind up to get a MK3. ;) I was seriously considering a Golf GTi or even a GTD, as many others have but was looking at another 7k on top of the price and I`m not sure I can justify the extra. So was at the dealer earlier in the week and am looking...

Hi All, Apologies if this has been covered before but couldn’t find on a search. ;) Been looking at upgrading to an FR 180 and I have a quick question re the Free Tech Pack Offer. The Offer says free pack worth £1930. When you run through the configuration on line and you add the...
