miles

Hi All, Been lurking for a while and meaning to post but now I've got a reason too!! Got in to drive home from work tonight and was surprised to see the INSP message appear with only 3,200 on the clock :confused: I'll contact the steelers tomorrow but has anyone had this happen before...

Hi guys Is there something wrong with my driving style My 7 month old Leon TDi FR+ needs new fronts after only 7,500 miles :-o I'm not used to this - tyres on my previous 1.6 Leons used to last 30,000 New Bridgestones are £90 from mytyres.co.uk unfitted! I do a mix of driving...

Has anyone experienced the same as me? Bought the car in Feb 06 with delivery mileage. Its now done 5100 ish miles (Sept 06) and the service light is flashing. Looking at the V5, the car was first registered on 30/09/05. Surely there can't be an internal clock in the car somewhere telling...

Spotted a 1.9 TDi SE, 2004(04) Reg with 75k miles on. Spoke to the dealer and its one of their division cars, and has a full service history (Cambelt etc). I know its a lot of miles, and that doesn't really bother me as long as the car is sound. So, would you? And anything I should check...

Hello, Got a 52 plate Leon Cupra FR and the LCD screens at the base of the dash have all gone! All the lights work above, indicator, handbrake lights etc. You can also see the red lighting surrounding it but nthe actual LCD screen is blank. Any ideas what to look for?:confused: CIA

I've just bought a new TDI 160 and have read about giving the engine death from day one, but what I want to know is do they become significantly faster with a few miles on them? At the moment its not really boosting until 2k rpm and has only done 300 miles. Will it be much different at 1k miles...

after a weeks worth of economic driving.. (with the odd moment of enjoyable driving) i managed to get 603.2 miles out of one tank.. EAT THAT PETROL BOYS!!!!! mind you.. i think i pushed it.. as i put 56L in to the tank! -grins-

when your tank is in the red on a leon 1.6s?

My Leon FR Tdi has just gone in for its first 10,000 miles (8 months old) service today with Ted Johnson. They have just called me to say my two front tyres are at 2mm! I heard that I might get through them quicker due to torque, but is this normal for spirited driving? Of hand does...

Hi all, Does anyone know where i can get a cheap service within the seat dealership group. My local st-dealers at sidcup want £330 but i think its a bit too steep. I live in london and im willing to travel. i could do the whole thing on my own for peanuts but the car is still in warrantee...

Cant fault them. Dropped the car off at 8.30, went and had a breaky at a local cafe, got a text when I was finishing to come and pick it up. Took all of and hour and a bit. They had two guys working on it. Did come to just over £220 though, so although not cheap, they are quick and looking...

How many miles can i expect from a full tank in a Leon Cupra R ? And how many litres does the tank hold ? Many Thanks.

Just had a quick browse on Autotarder to see what the market was like and found a 2002 02 plate Cupra with 8K on the clock! Only thing is, the SEAT dealer advertising it wants £9k for it:think: I think thats a bit much dont you?

Hi.... after some general thoughts and opinions really. . . Just done a deal privately on a silver 2003 Cupra with 82000 miles on the clock - should I be concerned at this mileage?? Its ex company owned, and the 82K is mainly motorway miles I guess, 54yr old salesman..... We shook on...

lol so who says you cant cane a tdi.. pleased to find replacement discs cost £27 each..cheaper than the pads...so..swapped...now bedding in the new discs and pads...:)

Just browsing the SEAT site and spotted the old one on there. Looks like she has had a scrub up and a few bits done like hte mirrors colour coded and wheels look very silver for some reason. Anyway, looking at the pics, making me think thats what the TDi will look like quite soon, REVO may...

Hi all Well my thoughts are being confirmed with the more miles i get on my car, its now approaching 50k. Every so often me and emma drive from Milton Keynes to Tavistock in Devon which is about 250 miles of which about 1/3rd is A roads to Swindon and the rest is motorway. I like to drive...

Hi, Just out of interest how many miles do you get out of a full tank. Normal driving, a lot of local driving not much on the motorways with the occasion thrash! I got the 1.820v and I only get around 300 miles per tank which I think works out to around 24mpg seems a bi cr4p. What do you think???

I just got quoted £70 for my 30000 miles service for my LCR from the dealer!! Does that sound right to you guys or have they f*cked up?

Ok, had the LCR for just over a week now and it has done 552 miles. I have read on here that after 1000 miles of gental driving, it is a good idea to change the oil. I haven't got the user manual on me and want to pick up some oil on the way home, what grade oil do I need? Also, does anyone...
