    Winter tyres - not your usual question

    For those already running around on winter tyres (obviously not Leon specific obviously but where else can it go) but how do you feel about the tread movement? TBH I'm finding it quite disconcerting when the physics kicks in and the blocks move. Nothing too silly either and its movement and...

    Cupra Bushes - not the usual question

    Do the Cupra wishbone bushes wear out? Everyone upgrades to them, but if us Cupra owners have a clunk, is it possible the bush has worn? Its too cold to check :lol:

  13. Misfire Problem - Not your usual, please help!!

    This isn't your usual coil pack or spark plug problem, this is something a little more in depth. Basically I have a misfire on cylinder #1, it only happens at idle and its not the injector, spark plug or coil pack as all three have been swapped about. If you run the misfire counter in VAGCOM...

    Does your car ever feel faster than usual?

    I've had my LCR 2003 since new. I also work 2/2 offshore during which time my wife drives my car. I'm totally used to the power, and although I might forget slightly what the pull feels like I don't think it is this. Anyway...... When I get home and drive my car it always feels more...

    Having read about it on here I noticed the other day that my slow fan never seems on when I turn my engine off. Sure enough last night I started her up from cold with the bonnet up, then turned on the aircon and the slow fan wasn't coming on at all so I guess it's knackered. [:@] I was just...

    LCR's hard to get hold of, or the usual dealer / sales BS?

    I had a letter the other day from a local main dealer, basically saying they've had 'numerous' potential buyers leave contact details with them, desperate to get hold of an LCR. As the owner of an LCR, they're wanting offer a 'fantastic' part exchange deal, knowing they will already have a...
