Hi, I'm a bit gutted, I went and collected a 2003 LCR on Sat; I checked all the bits recommended to check when buying an LCR.... I wound down all the windows and wound them up again to check the windows all worked fine. Later on in the day, I take my friend out for a spin, and she decides...

Having problems fitting a smaller aerial, as the original one doesnt seem to completely screw off[:@] Any ideas guys?

Hi all, Was out driving out of town after dark tonight for the first time in my LCR and noticed a problem with the headlights. On main lights dipped they seem strong enough, just like they're angled down a little too much. They light up the road nicely but the beam seems to stop pretty much...

Hi guys, i have recently started getting noises when i run over any bumps on the left side, the noise itself sounds metalic (kind of like having a toolboox rattling in boot) The noise seems to be coming from the top left side near the wheel. Any ideas what it could be? i'm guessing its...

Hi everyone. Got the car mapped and dyno'ed yesterday. It did not make as much as expected. But does the boost control for the N75 look normal?

I have an FR130 tdi 2006 - whilst on holiday the spanner symbol came up on the dashboard with the word "oil" next to it. When i reached my destination - i put the small amount of oil i cary round in my boot in the engine (500ml?) hoping this would top it up sufficiently to get me home. The...

Bought a stubby aerial off fleebay thinking it would be a screw off screw on job. Tried to screw mine off but it seems i have the aerials that screw loose and adjust to face flat on the roof, do these come off at all so i can replace with my stubby aerial? or am i wasting my...

Just a bit of advice please! My leon will unlock fine with the remote, and relock itself after 25 seconds or so as it should do...but it also relocks even if I open the drivers door. If i'm not quick enough, it's usually relocking just as i'm putting the key in the ignition, so when i...

Yet another proble with a Leons central locking. I've changed the battery in the key fob and taken connections of battery but still no joy. The key will remotely open all doors bar the passenger door but when inside the car you can lock all doors with the buttons on drivers door. Does this...

Right I've got adjustable tie bars on the car but it seems the anti roll bar seems to close to the drive shaft where ever it sits. Where should I adjust it to. More it's adjusted the closer the tie bar sits to the drive shaft. At a garae now so need quick reply please people.

I've had my FR CR Tdi for 6 months now, covered 8,500 miles and think its probably the best car I've had. Unfortunately, I'm about to change jobs so the car goes back next week:cry: I've no idea what the car scheme is for the new job, or even if I'll get a choice, so will just have to wait...

A while ago i noticed that when i opened the drivers door, the courtesy light on the actual door its self would flicker then switch off completely when the door was opened. Now the light has stopped working full stop in the drivers side, when the doors are opened. So i thaught ah must be...
