Oh and if anyone looking for a bargain on Microfibre cloths Adsa are selling a 1kg box of them for £8.

Should be around 30 in the box.

Cracking deal on the microfibres. Might have to pop down to asda.

Does anyone with a cr170 have any thoughts on adding a 9mm plate to the egr gasket? I've got one that I'm looking to put in but struggled to get at the bolts on the gasket.

Thanks Craig, I'm happy to keep her for now, but I think my next one will be a petrol, though it wont be for at least a year or so as paying for a wedding and saving for a house. Or should I say trying to.

Next thing is MOT and Tax end of the month and service light has popped up but thats no biggy as I'll do it myself.

Once that is done I will get the H&R's and possibly a wheel refurb if I cant afford new wheels.

Hopefully the next one will be a Cupra R so can transfer most bits :D

She will look spot on when you get the H&R's fella ;)

Feel your pain regards saving,nearly there with our wedding once it's payed I'm going to have a think on what I want to do next with mine.

No doubt it will be an uprated clutch and new flywheel when I go stage 2 :cry: would love to go as far as WeeG has with his but haven't decided yet

Been meaning to fit a small subwoofer in the Cupra for ages. Finally got a small enough one so I can still fit my bike in the back and fitted it. But when I restarted the car after removing and re-fitting the batter I got the 'steering wheel' warning light and the traction control warning light on the dashboard.

After plugging it in to a little fault code reader I have apparently I got the fault code 01314 whitch is ' Engine Control Module: No Communications '. I went for a little drive and the fault cleared itself.

Has anyone else had this code after removing the battery or is it something I should actually worry about haha?

Don't know 100% but I'm sure this can happen and as you've experienced it will go out after a short drive.

Try not to worry about it Kyle as its gone out all should be good ;)

Just over 100mtrs, you seen the price of fencing nowadays, it's obscene :cry:

Bloody hell that's £20 a meter!!.

Just replaced my fence panels with heavy duty waney lap

4 5 X 6 panels, 4 4 X 6 panels, 1 3 X 3 panel & 4 concrete base panels cost £240 delivered. Me & the next door neighbour swapped them out and we went halves so £120 each.

I would of cleaned mine today but don't like washing it in this sun as it just dries too quick and leaves streaks everywhere.

Took the FR to a track day at Teesside Autodrome, didn't participate but had fun using my SLR properly.

Will pop a few pictures up once I've sifted through the 460 I took lol

Mine took a trip to the beach for a spot of fishing, then back to give the Ibiza 4 hours of love, worth it though looks good with 2 coats of my new Blackfire Wax, though effort slightly lost on my gf of course ;). "Well done darling very shiny" is the best it gets, lol.
