The Leon has been resurrected and fate has been decided on this and at least its staying in the family.

I just got it out the garage after 6 months to be welcomed by seats, seat belts and carpet full of mold. Started by trowing away all the car mats and using some Autoglym carpert shampoo with a Meguires carpet brush to remove the mold and damp smell out the car. Also did all the seatbelts. Used some Zymol leather cleaner and Autoglym leather care balm and cleaned all the leather. Used some Autoglym Plastic and vinyl cleaner on the door cards and dash. Sprayed all the carpets with some febreeze and hanged a new magic tree off the interior mirror. At last the inside is smelling and looking fresh.

Will now give it a jet wash before it goes down the garage later today for new gearbox, driveshaft and glowplug harness.

The new stage 2 Sachs clutch is staying in and it will get a stage 1 map, should see it good for 190 BHP. Things on the list to do before the family member takes it away.

New recon Gearbox
New o/s Driveshaft
New genuine VW Glowplug Harness
New Car Mats
New front Windscreen
Tinted sunvisor strip on new windscreen
Front Bumper resprayed
o/s rear door spraying
New Seat Centre Caps
Spare Alloy Wheel in the boot.
Stage 1 Map, with EGR delete mapped out.

My lad has this now and its back on the road after 18 months.

Had new battery, new front and rear discs and pads, new rear caliper, new gearbox mount, new front hub bearings, new idle pulley tensioner and belt, spare wheel for the boot, standard FR front bumper back on, MOT, Tax and insurance

slight creaking at the front, need to check top mounts, other then that its driving well.

Need to put the new n/s rear door on too, as the paint is really poor on it at the moment. Then stage 1 map with EGR delete. No problems with the de-cat and the MOT though :)
