Hi all, just wanted to post in here, currently got a Lima Green Leon SE but due to new baby arriving February. I wanted more room and better space for my other 2 boy's I've ordered a Alhambra SE LUX 2.0 TDI DSG in Night Blue.

Been told about 14 weeks for it to come which work's out about end of December beginning January.

Anybody got window deflectors thinking of getting some?

Cheers

No window deflectors on my SE LUX! Climate control all the way. Open the roof sometimes when it's really nice. Windows are for car parks, toll booths and occasionally to talk to someone LOL :D

Little update my Alhambra has arrived at the dealers today, picking it up next Tuesday can't wait now as the best part is I changed the order on the 1st October to the 184 engine. I'll post pic's when I get it.

184 Engine is the better choise, as the car is very heavy. Have a grate time in it, as we defenatly have.

I ordered ours on 22 of december 2015, I got it on 1 of April 2016. But the dealer said that if we ordered one with leather seats, it would need a couple of weeks more.

I do not like the manual gearbox , it is wobbly. And the 150 bhp diesel is not enough for this heavy car. I have the 4Drive option as it's a must where I live. Side mirrors are small and are a safety risk for me. You need a blind spot monitoring. Also the main rear view mirror is small too.

Hi,

It's going great thanks, handles nice for a big car and loads of power. Done a few mods changed the interior light's to LED miles better and turned a few thing's on with OBDEleven.

Not sure what else I'll do lol. Will sort out pic's when I next clean it

Hi all, update time really enjoyed the Alhambra but I have had to give it back as I am no longer entitled to the enhanced rate of PIP. I know have bought my own car so plan to enjoy and mod that it's a 2011 Seat Leon FR 2.0 tdi dsg.

I'll sort pic's out so and start a new topic in the right group..

cheers Clint
