    Installing a cigarette lighter in boot

    Hi. I'm about to install a USB charge point in my boot of my Cupra 2010. Just wondering if anyone else has done it and has any advice? I like the idea of it being always on so I can charge low powered devices whilst I'm away from the car. I've had it done for my old Golf and it worked very well...

    It's happened before. A couple of years ago. Something to do with the suspension system. I don't remember all the details The thing is it's a suttle noise but i can't stand it and prefer not to go back to the mechanic that "fixed" it even though they have been good up until now. Any advice...

    Hill start braking does not release

    Every now and again from a parked position the car feels like it's pulling away from an activated hill braking with a creaking noise. Is this something I'm doing inadvertantly? Sent from my MI 8 Lite using Tapatalk

    How to confirm that a map has been erased/forgotten

    I've had my car remapped quite a few years ago. I'm sure I've had a battery change since then. I'm also pretty certain that the stage 1 map is not in operation. Is there a way to confirm. I have to say this. You do get used to a map and isn't always glaringly obvious from the performance point...

    Rear view dash cams

    Has Anybody got experience with these on their rear view mirror. Bought one by the company Y1. Want to hard wire it to the fuse box but aside from the mirror being very large the straps that fix it to the existing mirror don't fit round the mirror's fat body Sent from my MI 8 Lite using Tapatalk

    Body control module

    Hi people. How much to buy and install a body control module for a 2010 Seat Leon Cupra. I don't see much on it out there on the net to get an idea of costs. I have a feeling it will be expensive as my mechanic is saying only a dealer can configure the device once purchased. Thanks
