    1.2L v 1.4L TSI (used)

    Having had both, I would take the 1.4tsi every time. There’s no specific differences - the 1.4tsi just does everything a bit easier. A very good balance of performance and economy, whereas the 1.2 gives you the economy without the performance. That being said, the 1.2 isn’t disappointingly...

    2020 cupra Res Delete

    I got mine done at PowerFlow in St Albans. It’s subtle enough for normal driving, but makes a lovely noise, crackles and bangs when given some welly. £120 all in, and that is clamped into place so that I can put the res back in when I want. Can’t fault it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Will a boxed 55inch TV fit in the boot of a 2 door 14 plate Leon?

    Rear Seats down and it will fit. Bought a 55inch last Christmas and got it in my MK3 with a few centimetres to spare! A 2nd pair of hands to pull from the front whilst pushing from the back makes life a million times easier! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Res Delete

    Can anyone point me in the direction of companies in order to get a Res Delete? I’m aware of Progressive Parts, but are there other “well known” brands that do it? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Letchworth SEAT

    I’ve had 6 cars from them now and they have been absolutely faultless every single time. The most recent was October 2019 (first time buying from their new showroom) and the service was as good as ever. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which mapping company?

    I had a Quantum tune on a MK5 Ibiza - no complaints or problems in 50,000 miles. I have nothing to compare it to having not had once since though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wind deflectors - are they worth it?

    I think it’s luck of the draw and how well they bed in. I’ve had them on 3 cars, a 3dr Ibiza, a 5dr Ibiza and Mk3 Leon. No problems on the Ibiza’s at all, but had to take them off the Leon after a week as the wind noise drove me crazy.

    Bulbs dilema

    It depends what you are after. If you want improved visibility then you can undoubtedly do better for the money. They do however omit a lovely bright white colour. So to summarise, if you're after looks, you won't go wrong with these. If you want improved lighting, there are better options...
