DONT put a cupra R badge on the back of your leon!! Because one day you'll come across a real LCR and it'll smoke you!! Was going to work tonight and a black Leon passed me as i was turning onto main road. I thought Mmm an LCR lets play. So we get through the round about and he's off im...

Hi Was starting to worry a bit today! Car got it's last service on Tuesday prior to the warranty running out and guess what? Out for a run with the family today and suddenly loud "crunching" / "grinding" noise which appeared to be coming from drivers side front. The garage had warned me that...

There's quite a few people selling their Cupras on here at the moment which made me think of the question - what do people tend buy as their next car once they have got rid of the Cupra? I'd just be interested to know what people swap for and for what reasons..

My parents have a V reg 1.8 20v Toledo. My mother went to change the position of the seat from way back where my dad has it to the very front where she has it. The only problem is that it came off in her hand. I presume they have been putting to much pressure on it to shuffle forwards and the...

Morning All... I have just noticed this morning that the silver stitching on my FR Drivers seat is coming off like broken thread (pic to follow).. Has anyone else suffered this? Is it a warranty job? (10 months old, 11k)

When I put the heater to the floor or to my feet, the air seems to blow much harder on the drivers side than the passenger side. Its like 80% of the force goes to my side. Are they all like this or is it a problem. :confused:

Ok, I shant mention the company as SYGDC should be enough, but how many of you are here that park in my works car park every day. I have seen at least 3 FR's and 2 Cuprua R's (one grey one with a seatcura.net window sticker in the rear windows so I know one of you is here. Mine is the new...

basically, i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for all us 1.2 ibiza owners, so that any queries, problems or advice could be shared. any 1.2 drivers with mods which they recommend, problems etc can post it all on this thread. non 1.2 drivers welcome of course (as long as...

Got an October '87 Cordoba 1.6SE. Went to unlock the driver's door on Saturday, and the key just turned. Next thing I hear is a lump of metal falling down the inside of the door! Used the passenger's lock to get in the car, and stripped the driver's door panel off to find that a lump of...

isn't fitting properly under the bit where the head restraint meets the seat. It looks like there isn't enough cloth there so it doesn't fir under properly. Anyone else had this problem? Should I go back to the dealer and ask for a new seat, which will probably be more hassle than its...
