Autoexpress Driver Power 2010 In this weeks edition has put the Leon at 18th out of 100. A jump of 47 places from last year!! Maybe the FL model has helped? Leon came 4th for performance with Scooby 1st and Jag XF 3rd. Skoda Octavia was 3rd and Golf MkVI 6th Overall so a goodresult for SEAT oh...

Just back from holiday and somebody has completely smashed the driver's side mirror (electric, non folding) off my 2003 V5 Toledo. Unhelpful!! Searched the forums and guides but still have a few questions: (1) Is there a specific guide for changing the mirror? I've found the door card...

Well since i've guzzled a few tanks of V-power over easter I thought I'd take this one a little easier now i'm back in work. I managed to get 49mpg on the 40mile trip home from work. Thats part of Manchester, the M62 then through Liverpool. So plenty of different driving situations. Nearly...

Hi Guys This is a very weird one. I have an Ibiza FR which has the "luxury" pack fitted, meaning I get folding mirrors. The only problem is that it has just picked up a fault, so that when you fold the mirrors out, the left side one is fine but my one bends back out too far. The only...

Cupra is in for service, and for a new headlight..... so ive been givin a 1.6 petrol 59 plate leon courtesy car. Nice comfy quiet car, but my god, thats the worst engine ive ever come across. Has absolutely nothing, no power, no torque, it doesnt rev, and sounds rubbish. Why anyone would spec...

Hi guys, Just got my LCR, knew when I bought it the driver's side wing mirror won't fold in on the motor but the dealership evidently forgot to fix it before I picked the car up. Before I take it back in to have it fixed, I'm not missing anything am I? I turn the wing mirror adjustment...

It just a niggling fault but for some reason the sensor on the drivers door has stopped working. So now the lights don't go on when you open the door and it doesn't do the beep noise for when you have left the lights on. Does anyone have any idea. I cant find the part on the door that tells...

I've notice that my driver side window makes a little grinding noise half-way when it is going down fully but when it goes back up there is no grinding noise.. rather annoying...:( I'm scared that there might be a big problem inside the door, I don't want a pricey bill to get it fixed because...

A chance to give your opinion on the Leon click the link below takes a couple of mins see if we can push it up the table from 41 out of 100 :) : http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/front_website/driverpower/2010/

Hi guys, hope you can help me out with this. My drivers and passenger side door are not opening in these tempreatures. The problem doesn't lie with a frozen door frame, but with the actual door locking mechanism from the handle to the side of the door where the small bar is raised when opened...

I tried to wind down my driver's door window the other day when it was frozen and I heard a snap. Now it doesn't wind down. When I removed the door panel today I saw that the steel cable for the mechanism has snapped (rusted!). Does anyone have any experience of changing this mechanism? Is it a...

hi guys i've just bought a '99 v-reg arosa s and was wondering are there any worthwhile non-insurance increasing changes i could do to make it look less 'stock' :think: thanks tom

My electric window on the driver's side rises up fine but midway gets lazy and then fine again for the rest of the "drive" . When using the electric alarm the window doesn't go all the way up. Pressing down no lazieness BTW!! any thoughts what to inspect/replace ? Thanks

Done a search and nothing came up, felt a bit funny yesterday now it does not open at all so have to keep putting the window down to get out and the windows are getting frozen shut! Anyone had this before I start taking the door card apart and getting confused?!

With an impending move coming next year and a few extra miles to work i decided it was time i got a daily driver. Sense would say get a diesel but me being me i decided i still wanted something fun but sensible, so when this came up for sale i couldn't say no. It's an ex seat UK car...

Hi Guys, Right so I've stripped out the wipers amd scuttle plate aned cleaned as much as I can in the area where water drains from under the scuttle panel in to the wing. Flushed area with water and had no leak over bonnet pull in car but a new leak at rear of pedals - not too worried about...

Hi, I have a Seat Leon MK II 1.4 TSI and sometimes when i open the driver's door the car issues a single beep and i was wondering if any of you have any idea why it would do that. I have the Coming Home feature and I always leave my lights on as the car will turn them off after 30 seconds...

According to Wikipedia (so it must be true :rolleyes:), for the Mk1 Leon it says: Didn't realise my car had this :confused:

Any advice on this one? My car was in for a service yesterday - they said it was a motor fault - that totally sums up the incompitence of stealers! The rear passenger window works fine from the local door control, just not from the drivers. All other windows/everything else fine. How hard...
