    key fob battery change now not working

    I may have the solution if you have changed your key battery and now the key does not work. First be sure the key is NOT working by pressing any of the buttons on the key - the red pip light on the fob should blip. Assuming it doesn't blip, then you may have inadvertently done what I did. I...

    Can I start the engine without pressing the clutch?!!

    Yes, that battery voltage point is true! My wife's Stop/Start on her little Fiat 500 run-around thankfully stopped working after we changed the battery and fitted a cheap one with less power. Apparently it needs the power of the original rated battery to supply enough oomph to work the...

    Ordered my seat leon 1.2 tsi question

    I uprated my 1.2 SE to an FR for under ten quid by buying two FR badges - one for the grill, and one next to the SE badge on the back. :whistle:

    Dashcam Fitted in my Mk3

    That's an interesting one! The bike is on the pavement, and the car he hit is parked on the pavement! Both are committing an offence and I would say they both deserve what they got! :handbags:

    steering issues.can anyone help?

    Are you varying how many shredded wheats you are having for breakfast? - just a thought. Seriously though, I hope it stays sorted and it is just one of those mysterious electrical things that can happen with cars.

    which color you choosed for your car

    No offence taken, morini - wouldn't do for us all to think the same! :happy: I know I am in a minority (my dealer had never seen the Montsant red colour in the flesh before), and there's something rather satisfying about never seeing a same-colour Mk3 on the road! I seem to have a knack...

    The Definitive LED Bulb Replacement Parts Guide

    Something that caught me out when I changed the boot light by uprating from the LED I had previously fitted - I removed the unit to do the change indoors and left the boot open. There must be a time switch on the supply because when I returned and refitted the item it would not light, nor would...

    which color you choosed for your car

    The other red is actually Montsant red, and if you just want a luscious colour, that's the one to go for! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=753yPhGq-BY

    Leon features in the future?

    One day they will solve how to make wipers that clear the WHOLE of the front screen, and not leave the front seat passenger looking through raindrops or, even worse, the scum left when it has dried. Have been in the new Qashqai as a passenger and it is even worse there unless the owner cleans...

    Leon features in the future?

    Just checked the 36 features listed in the New Leon advertising brochure for the current SE model against the features in my other car - the 50 year old MK1 Cortina 1500 De Luxe. How many of the 36 are present in the Cortina? - NOT ONE! This made me wonder what 36 new features will be...

    Suicida1 Zombie - what was the problem with your driver's sun visor light? - did it not light at all, or was there an intermittent fault?

    Leon FR 1.8TSI

    Hi smurf123 The inside back of your fuel flap should have two sticky plastic labels. On mine, the lower one is about tyre pressures; the upper one is about the fuel to use. If this latter sticker is missing on yours, I suggest you reject the car! :D

    Boot net available

    Yes, and at this rate we'll soon be offered a wheel at each corner called a wheels pack! :)

    Boot net available

    There has been some discussion as to whether or not the boot net has been withdrawn from newly supplied Leons. I was not expecting one but my dealer surprised me by handing one to me when I collected the car. When I got home I discovered that one of the four hooks has snapped off, so I reckon...

    Spoiler Added - paintwork

    These metallic colours certainly throw widely different shades according to the light, don't they? My Montsant Red varies from an orangey brown to a deep cherry red, and all shades in between - I never know what colour its going to be when I first look out of the curtains, but I know which one...
