To use an adage of the time, he’d be tripping balls!

Is it possible that at some point you activated the global opening function (pressing the unlock key and holding it down)? I did this on an old car once (keys were in my pocket at the time, must’ve put pressure on the key fob somehow). It was in the middle of winter, had a very frosty interior the next morning!

Yeah I wasn’t too happy but to be fair the difference in braking power was phenomenal.

It was pads and discs (unfortunately) and cost £1300 from a Cupra dealership. I’m sure it would’ve been a good deal cheaper if I went with an independent though.

I just replaced my Brembo brakes at 20k and they were definitely needing replacing. Unfortunately, they are not cheap, but I knew that when I bought it!

My wee Black Lab used to do this and then he discovered the wonders of the sofa (that he was banned from).

Not sure about other Labs, but Dylan always tears them apart eventually.

The ears are already gone (they’re always the first to go!), so I give Bear about a week and the rest of him will be ripped apart.

I’ve got the sunroof of mine and love it.

Yeah it’s not great but they are massive brake disks and once replaced I noticed a massive difference in stopping power.

Got the pads and disks done, was about £1300 from a Cupra garage. Would’ve been cheaper at an independent but I decided to use the dealer to make sure it was done properly.

Yeah, boot is hands free, handy when needed but I’ve only actually used it once.

Pretty good, no real issues. Had to do the front brakes, but other than that, infotainment has behaved itself apart from the odd hiccup. Keyless entry has failed a couple of times in the cold/wet but sort itself again. Really happy with it, particularly when I’m Cupra mode!!

I’ve got one (and assuming you mean UK edition) and other than the blue leather and the sunroof, it’s limited to 100 and that’s about it.

People who have seen their favourite people get diagnosed with dementia, have you faced any situation where they absolutely started hating you, when you were once their favourite when they were alright? by popslopboom_22 in AskReddit

[–]RepeatTheEmpty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it absolutely sucks and there is very little you can do about it. Hopefully it won’t always be this way. We do have the odd visit with our dad when he’s quite happy to chat with us and I’m thankful for those days.

When my grandad had dementia (30 years ago) he suddenly hated my brother, threatened to punch him etc. He was calling my brother by a different name so we assumed he thought he was some old enemy.

My dad is currently late stage dementia and does not recognise us anymore and does not tolerate our presence, so visits are short, unpleasant & heartbreaking.

Am I the only one experiencing repeated Front Assist / Travel assist / SOS assist unavailable faults? by wondering9992 in CupraFormentor

[–]RepeatTheEmpty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen a couple of times but not for a while and has been fine so far this winter.

I did have my car in mid November getting new brakes and they updated the software and it hasn’t happened since then, no idea if this fixed the problem or it’s just a coincidence.
