A GREAT START!
Put the mirrors back in to "sleep" position this morning now they will not go back - BF's had a look, fuse is not blown and him and his mechanic mate has said the switch it broken.. GRRRRRRRRRR!
So now I'm carless once again!

post number 7 and it all goes belly up - I like "the dark side"
But keeping onto TDI's as we should
Wasn't me.....
well I did - and trust me Brum, was not a safe experience as I have privacy glass in the rear making it quite awkward to reverse without any mirrors.
AA man has just been - spent an hour on it and has confirmed it is just the switch.
So, not even had it 24 hours and a claim (hopefully) on the warranty already.
So unable to show it off at work tomorrow

I know I'm probably over reacting - I'm just so gutted - not even had it 24 hours and this happens......
Still the AA man was very complementary on my car

Have to wait until Wednesday for the part
Everyone reckons at work, bar a few that i should drive it with no mirrors
Er
Well its been a week and I have to say I'm loving this car, just getting used to its dimensions and finding it a little easier to park.
Have to say it doesn't feel all that fast now? I know it is, I've just got used to it very quickly!
Local Seat dealership gave me the secondary radiator fuse which the BF will fit over the weekend, they've said if it blows again something is up

Sounds like it`s about time you got the car remapped....
nooooooooo - don't tempt me!
... How much are we looking at exactly?
About £300 + depending what company you go with which should take the car to about 180ish bhp. Go on you know you want to...

sounds okay -
watch this space!What about suspension - I had my Ibiza lowered and it really improved the ride and cornering - the Leon is quite low at the front already (I now I'm gonna hit it at some point) but can I make the suspension stiffer/better?

I may have something useful to offer here, I had a new shape Octavia a while back (mk5 platform) with very similar seats. It to had a squeaky seat (cured the same way as yours)...what I did was to un-clip the back of the seat trim from the underside near where the mechanism raises and lowers the seat. It needed some lubrication (spray PTFE or silicone) and job done! Never heard a peep from it
. Easy to re-attach the trim as well. Hope this may help.

Well it's wash polish and wax day for the FR - I've washed it and it's now raining....
Still thinking about this re-map

Wash day...
I was going to wash mine, and it's raining in Havant as well. Least I wouldn't have to dry it off
I've been thinking about a remap also, but I have this in mind...I think that if an owner fully exploited the cars stock performance and handling your pants would let go long before the car!
Sounds like fun though...
