Has anyone ever fitted HIDs for there main beam and fog lights. Now I practically never use my fogs, and I kow its not a huge advantage for the main beam either. I'm just fussy and wanted things to match. I've ordered the kits. Just wondered if there was any pitfalls/advice out there

I had a problem a few weeks ago where the main fuse from the alternator charge cable on the top of the battery kept on blowing. I replaced the battery as it was knackered and its been fine for the last few weeks. Anyway, tonight I drove around 80 miles, and the fuse melted twice. Fortunatley...

Hi guys, bit of a strange one; my main beam dash light is not coming on with main beam anymore. It does come on from time to time, but never instantly, normally only after main beam has been on for a few minutes continuous. As it still works sometimes i'm thinking it can't be the bulb; dodgey...

Just wondering what they were so I can see if my one had any fitted :)

I have a BMC (i think) induction kit on my cupra with a cold air feed from the front wing. The back of the filter goes through a 45 degree bend to the MAF. Plugged into this 45 degree bend is the breather pipe for the SAI system. I have noticed on some pictures that other people have the 45...

Can the main beam aligment be adjusted on the cupra lights, for some reason mine seem to just light up the left hand side of the road and not alot ahead or to the right :( Its pretty shocking imo and if it can be adjusted it would make them so much better :) Cheers Si

My Leon TDi 140 is 3 years old early next month and therefore is ready for its first MOT. I've been thinking about getting it checked over before the warranty expired and the other day I got a letter from GK Group in Derby saying they'd do just that at the same time as my MOT. Took it in...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the main differences are between the Ibiza 1.8 20VT FR and Cupra models are? I'm talking in terms of brakes, suspension, handling, turbo, clutch, gearing etc?? Also what mods would be needed to convert an FR to Cupra and vice-versa? Also are there any owners who...

1.8T AGU Its developed an awful knocking noise sometimes when started, its like a clunking sort of noise, and its just started making like a humming noise like somethings not happy. All sounds like its coming from the block so thinking maybe bearings of some sort? the knocking usually goes...

Guys, Funny one this, but just how valuable is a SEAT service history over say a VAG service history? The reason I am asking is because I know that my forthcoming service is going to cost around £100 more at a SEAT main stealer than a mate can do for me at an official VW Dealer complete...

Had to change a main beam bulb last night & had a complete nightmare! As I was unclipping the bulb & taking the bulb out I heard a "ping". Discovered that the spring clip had some how come loose & dropped down the bottom of the headlamp!:censored: I managed to retrieve the spring clip &...

I'm having some work done on my car and i'm just wondering as i'm supplying the parts is it good practice to replace the main bearing cap bolts after they have been un-done to replace the main big bearings and thrust washers? :confused:

Afternoon, Just recently picked up my LCR and Im enjoying it so far. Ive had VW's for the past 12yrs in fact this is my first non-VW. Swapped it for a Golf Tdi and it couldnt be more different. The guy selling didnt really know too much as he never told me about the BMC filter, Forge...

Hi, Has anyone else had this problem? My main beam is stuck on and won't release back to normal headlights. Is this the stalk that needs replacing or is it something more simple? If it is the stalk anyone know how easy it is to replace? Please help as i'm fed up of driving on side lights...
