Thanks Bruce still a bit nervous with her after the ECU issues but we are getting there.
No mention in any paper work about her being a FR+ so going with that majority on this one
Did discover in the rain last night the dreaded leaky pollen filter so your right about the bank balance LOL

Sorry to hear that you've had problems with your FR straight off the bat Ted. Hopefully from here on in, it's problem free enjoyable motoring. The mk1s are great IMO but I'm probably biased!
If you haven't had time to do your door seals yet, put tape over where the window meets the window seal (point where the window slides into the door, if you know what i mean) and that'll keep your car dry until you get chance to repair it properly.
Enjoy ownership

Nice car bud I'm only over in Buckinghamshire so nice to see someone else not too far away. Yup you've got a FR+ by the looks of it as everyone else has said so just a few extra styling bits
As for the pollen filter issue, it might just be the cover has caught itself up, as I did the same on my Cupra TDi when i changed the filter and it pissed straight into footwell! Take the cover off and put it back on and make sure the sleeve that's on the back of the cover goes right across...means you might take a few scratches on the back of your hand doing so, but it's the easiest way in my opinion.

I'm Aylesbury myself but I'm usually out and about in south bucks in the work vans aroudn Hazlemere, Wooburn Green, Beaconsfield, Jordans, Iver, Taplow, Burnham etc
So been driving my girl around for about a month now and loving it! But nothing has happened to her as yet...!
Rear bearing sounds like its gone/on the way out so will need to replace them and the suspension is pretty crash bang wallop, so looking at replacing the suspension as well.
Thinking while I am going to be under there replace bushes at the same time. Not worked on a car before so looking forward to getting my hands dirty with my mate who has a ridiculous 306 GT.
Went to the local diner for the GFs Birthday so took a pic

Update: 11 Mar 14
Excited my first shopping spree for parts have just started arriving.
After talking the ear off of Damien@DPM Performance on e-mail and the guys@KW on their stand at Ultimate Dubs, I have ordered the following:
Sachs F/R Shocks
Lamforder F/R Bushes
SNR Rear Hub&Bearing
SNR Front Bearings
Eibach Sport line F/R springs
I know this is not a fancy list of performance parts, but need to get a feel of what the car should feel like relatively stock before I go too mad![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
Also I noticed that some of the bolts were missing from the top of the grille so I have ordered some from the mighty E-bay.
I also got the Elswine v4.0 workshop manual to help me do all this work

yh that's a decent mod list mate .. no point in only having a car fast in a straight line if it cant corner for shite ..
Bad Time
Bad times...backing out of a space last night and hit a 4x4 at low speed luckily so no damage to the 4x4, but the Leon took a bit of a beating
Not sure how I am going to fix or if I am just going to get a new bumper. Number plate light still works all OK, so hopefully the Fuzz won't pull me.
Also noticed a scrape down the driver side passenger door
On the upside I did give my lady a good clean (mainly to assess the damage)
Hopefully still on to get the suspension and hubs/bearing done on Saturday as all the parts have arrived now
As always will keep you all updated

Sorry to see the damage! At least the scrape on the door is on the rub strip so could be a cheap DIY fix.
Those new shiny parts should ease the pain a little
Thanks Leon1600s.
Yeah the rub strip should be a fairly easy, just the back to sort out
