    Goodbye Leon

    Yeah the common response from dealers was "it will probs just sit on our forecourt as nobody is looking for diesels at the moment" Which is fine but when a VW dealer offers you less than book due to the adverse media of VAG diesels but flat out reduces any discounts on a **DIESEL** you realize...

    Goodbye Leon

    I'll let you know regarding the bars as others have PM'd first. Bootliner is this: http://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel4_tab.php/boot-liners-mats/rezaw_plast_boot_liner_black_no_rz231424/Qx%40w%2C6M41V_VndbVhpeetSUTPXkuV5IS6C2V2r7Ko~Bn3TskzuG7NCdri925I.jFfK%2CSFt8%60Mt1Q.DPzzTB~g_...

    Goodbye Leon

    The roofbars are aftermarket, made by Artera. I did a bit of research and these were rated at better than anything else around, particularly for the price. They are the SIGNO AS model. I bought them from the Roofbox company, these appear to be the current version...

    Goodbye Leon

    Indeed and I thoroughly agree; I've only ever gone for options that appeal to me and will make ownership that bit more enjoyable. They make the car more sellable but add zero value add trade in time. I got a big discount on the car to begin with as it was pre-registered and I thought that...

    Will this be covered by paint warranty?

    Looks like a stone chip; the paint is pretty soft on the Leon. I doubt it would be covered under warranty as it would be classed as wear and tear. Get yourself some touch up paint, carefully clear any loose paint or debris and use a toothpick or similar to apply a small amount of paint to the...

    Goodbye Leon

    I've gone for a Skoda Superb Sportline. Spent a good few months looking and test driving cars from Mondeo to A6 and the Sportline was my standout favorite.

    Goodbye Leon

    No longer have the car, sorry. I have a single 18" performance alloy if that's any help (doubt it). I bought it as a spare from Dave @SERE (sells parts to SCN members on here).

    Goodbye Leon

    After 3yrs Leon ownership I've just got rid of my Leon ST FR 184. The overall ownership experience has been very odd... For the last 12 years I've had VAG cars as my daily drivers; all of them have had their merits but the Leon is the only one that has never let me down, not even warning light...

    1st year service - confused. So are dealer+seat uk

    Seems that you're on a variable service regime. Usually due at 16-19K miles (dependent on various engine/oil sensors which again is dependent on driving type/style) OR 2 years; whichever happens soonest. £239 variable/longlife service is the one you want or go to an independent specialist and...

    Recommended products candy white Ibiza

    I'd recommend something synthetic on white paint. Synthetic polymers give a smoother finish which will help reflect more light. Natural, carnauba waxes are a little rougher (at a microscopic level) and won't reflect the light as much. Carlack Complete/NSC finished with Carlack long life...

    Rear view mirror vibration???

    I had this on my 63 plate FR. I just used trim removal tools to remove the fairing and applied some Silent Coat absorber foam to the plastic fairing and reattached it. It's been fine since.

    Has anybody handed their car back at the end of a PCP?

    It doesn't adversely effect your credit scoring or history though. It's your legal right as a consumer to invoke this. Lenders don't like you doing it for obvious reasons but it's there for the consumer not the lender. The flag is simply to let other lenders know why the agreement was...

    Tyre wear advice needed please

    My 184 is actually a 232 and I've had much more than 13K out of a set of Eagle F1 GSD's on the front......

    Has anybody handed their car back at the end of a PCP?

    Voluntary termination is what I'd do. If you've paid over 50% of the whole amount (price + interest) then just hand it back and walk away.

    DTUK tuning box

    Nothing will flag, even if it was connected. The only way to tell a box has been in place is to compare the fueling and boost tables with that of a stock car. Boxes aren't completely undetectable but very few technicians would have the knowledge or inclination to go sniffing.

    Wanted - 1x 18" Performance alloy

    Yes! I have one that will be up for sale as soon as I put my winter wheels on. I bought it from Dave at SERE and it's only been on the car a few months. No scratches or marks and the car is cleaned weekly (fortnightly at a push). I had the same issue you had when trying to source one was a...

    FR 18' wheels

    Where were you last week when I was rinsed for £290 for a single 18" :cry: Good job that Dave from SERE motors gives discount to SNC members, other dealers wanted £391!

    154MPH on A11 in a Cupra

    No custodial sentence?! WTF!! How did he get off with with such lenient fine/ban? This guy got 28 months for 192mph, which although is a significantly higher speed there wouldn't have been much difference in terms of devastation, if it had gone wrong...
