Hi I don't know if anyone has any idea here, i'm baffled. Basically I hit a big lump of ice and have damaged something. I had the main stealers have a look at it and they couldn't find a problem, however there is one and i'm not mad! The noise sounds like a rubbing noise, it sounds like a bent...

It has happened a few times now, but today when i went from a left hand corner to turn into a right hand corner, the frot end of the car dipped and lost power, it felt like a starvation of fuel or something as it kicked straight back in and accelerated half a second later? Do i need to...

Hi about 7months ago i brought a set of deep dish wheels for my cupra and the company told me the were a direct fit but to make them fit i had to put 8mm spacers. So last night i started touching metal on the pads and went to change them today but the wheels wont clear the calipers unless i...
