My front wheels are leaking air and have been for a while now. The offside is worse and tends to lose around 15-20PSI in about 10 days to a fortnight, while the nearside loses around half that. The rears are absolutely fine though. Photo of the worst one attached. At the moment I'm just running...

Hi, I was looking to try and do a few things to my standard 1.6 16v MkI last year after sorting some issues but accidentally moved in with the Mrs instead :D Now things are on a pretty strict budget and i'd still like to do something to make it 'mine' and a little special. What...

I recently put in an Alpine HU which I'm really happy with. Lovely sound! Other than that, the speakers in my Cupra (non 'R') seem pretty good. I'm thinking of upgrading though. I feel a sub would add the most at the moment. But there are so many out there! What are the basic...

Hi, Need to get the Ibiza TDI serviced in the next few days, it's due a 40,000 mile service, and have always gone to my local dealer, ******* St Albans, but have heard good things from searching the posts on here regarding Seat Cheshunt. Thing is, the posts are about 18 months old...

Hey, Used the search, but not seen what I was after even though I know it exists! Grrr. What Sidelight bulbs have you got to match the HIDs?

Hi, I have had a search and not found anything helpful. I am looking for a roof bar set for my '03 LCR so I can carry my 8'6" longboard. The main features I am looking for is quick to put on AND remove so I only need to use them when I want to go for a surf. I.e. put them on and take them...

It was suggested to me last week that an uprated dogbone mount could help get more power down and reduce wheelspin/wheelhop somewhat. Doing a search, there is so much info here but it all got a bit confusing going from thread to thread so I thought I'd ask again (sorry). :headhurt: I've...

I have a couple of questions which i have searched for but not found much (i am sure some one will pop up and say they found it straight away). 1. Is it worth putting a 4 bar fpr on a stock motor or even a stage 1 remap if not when is it worth doing. 2. I am planning on putting a LSD on...
