    SEAT Minimó general discussion

    60% of Cobalt comes from the DRC. Russia, Australia and Canada are the next largest producers. Work to reduce the cobalt content in batteries is ongoing but is proving difficult. Laptops, phones, tablets, pretty much all portable electronics use lithium batteries containing cobalt. Cobalt is...

    That looks like a case for a mk2 Leon. It's the mk3 key case that is hard to find.

    This key is looking worse for wear with the buttons deeply indented. If a new shell (not a cover) was available, I would fit one.

    Album covers on media screen

    May also be of use: Processing music collection for media player. One thing I found was that non-square dimensioned art will work in the player as long as either vertical or horizontal is 300 pixels.

    Tyres - recommendations / ones to avoid, FR184

    AO tyre marking = Audi/ VAG OEM tyre. The standard and OEM branded versions of a tyre are often the same, but can differ in compound or sidewall construction. I don't know for sure if the Contis have any difference but the reviews I read referred to the standard version, so that's what I bought.

    Tyres - recommendations / ones to avoid, FR184

    Conti Sportcontact 5s were factory fitted. After reading many reviews, I settled on Sportcontacts again for the combination of wet and dry grip, not the OEM compound (AO?)but this one: Continental ContiSportContact 5 225/40R18 92 Y FR, XL Quite happy with the performance of these.

    The cover is 5F0.803.595.A I use an Atera Strada DL3 bike carrier, which I found to be the best trade off between weight, convenience and price.

    What would you change?

    I found that it doesn't supply enough current for the Galaxy S4. It needs Samsung's own charger.

    What would you change?

    DPF regen indication on dash. Would prefer to drive a few more minutes than switch off and risk trouble with it later. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Tapatalk

    What would you change?

    Much as I like my Leon 184, I have given some thought to improvements which I think could be made at minimal / no cost. Anyone care to add to/ modify this list ? -------------------- Allow sound actuator to be turned off in sport mode. Reduce wind noise at speed, I suspect changing the...

    It's just a press fit piece of black plastic. It can be sprayed to match the car, I chose not to. Sent from my GT-I9295 using Tapatalk

    Progressive steering

    Anyone got a Leon with the dynamic pack / progressive steering? I have an FR on order, without this option due to budget. I like the idea of less wheel twirling on the twisty bits but not convinced there's enough difference. Just curious to hear opinions from anyone who's got this.
