I think my LCR has realised it's for sale... as yesterday it decided to start eating it's coolant sensor. Great. Luckily not an expensive job but it's more money spent on a car that hopefully wont be mine for much longer. This is, of course, on top of the tax and MOT coming up.... I'm sure...

Thanks to all that came today, the weather just adds to it, but i appreciate everyone still making the effort to come. Massive thanks to cubias for bringing the gazebo-even if it did lead to jamie getting an early shower (thats what you get for being the only fool to wear shorts) Mud GALORE...

What can you people tell me about the Cupra R's which were used at Rockingham? A mate has had a Cupra R for well over a year now, he's just giving it a proper polish, and has discovered what appears to be the 'sun shading' of what once used to be a 'race flag' decal, the numer '12' decal and...

Good cars, awesome performance but when you come to sell them watch out. think ive put it up for a good price gone off parkers price guide and its got over a grand worth of mods on top. any1 think it would sell better if i took the mods off and sell standard.

Hi people I know this has been covered before but I want to know some other stuff too.... Right so I have a black facelifted FR, so its got the 17 inch alloys on and I'm thinking of getting them powdercoated black. Any thoughts? Also, does anybody roughly know how much powdercoating costs...

Now after attending the BTCC at Corft on sunday I asked one of the Seat Cupra Cup engineers about the set ups on the cars and got on to the matter of the DV's as i could not see one anywhere (to which i was confused) and it turns out they are not allowed them so the completely remove them, blank...

Hi all, Could i ask what maybe a silly question, I have had my new SEAT LEON 2 Stylance just over a week now and i have to say that i am not entirely impressed with the condition it is in. When you part exchange a previous car for a new one why is it you cannot have a factory fresh one, it...

I've been searching through seat uk's approved used cars page and you can search for a 2.0 tdi reference sport or a 2.0 tdi sport which have differences like rear electric windows for example but on the spec my seat or models page there is just a reference sport which doesn't have electric...

Is there anything you can do (or any point in it) to a new car to keep it looking new for as long as possible? The most I've done in the past is just wash the thing carefully when it looked a bit dirty. But then it was a silver car so it took a while. Or anything you would NOT do to a...
