Good evening all,

Just picked up my new (new to me) Leon FR 184 on a 67 plate. Got it for a great price and I’m really pleased with it so far. A couple of minor things to sort out but first impressions are great.

I seem to have a grumbling noise when turning sharply at low speeds, which I’ve read could be the rubber spring mounts or an oil change on the gearbox is needed.

Somehow the folk who transported it from Scotland (where it was purchased from) to Bristol for collection managed to put a dent on the roof, just above the rear windscreen. They have agreed to fix this free of charge so fingers crossed I can get that sorted.

Looking forward to having some discussions and probably asking some questions too.

Tom.

Welcome to SCN, hope you get the dent sorted, not what you want on your new motor. Who transported it and was it the seller that arranged it or yourself.

It was Arnold Clark! Quite a bad first experience to be honest but they’re giving me free reign of choosing whichever body shop I want and they’ll pay the invoice, so fingers crossed!
