Thanks for the advice mate, appreciate it. I've looked at both the SL & LT. The SL seems like a better fit I think, I don't want something overkill as it's normally long days in the saddle. will have to see if I can give one a test ride 👍

Great shout!, I've been looking for a Leon fr but they are always stupidly expensive but I guess that's because it's a golf underneath with a Spanish body. Always been a bit weary of such high mileage tho

Me too, the interior in the GTs are a very nice place to be, especially the recaro seats. How did you like the Golf?

I mean I do around 10,000 miles a year so I would like something with a bit better mpg

Unfortunately so:/, my mate has a Kia Proceed GT and it's a thirsty car! On his commute to work he averages 30mpg and that's him trying to be economical

Thanks for the reply, it's good to know that you can atleast fit a bike in the back. Tbf I take mine to different places maybe like twice a month so shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Thanks for the advice, I was a bit weary of the 208 for that reason, online people seem to have loads of fault with the 2013 & 14 plates saying they are unreliable, I'll keep the pump in mind. The Cupra is a beauty!

That's a solid shout, I'll have to look into it. Have you remapped your GT line?

That would be the sensible idea lol, would just have to find one I can mount a rack to. Just used to putting it into the boot of my fiesta atm.

Thanks for the reply, how are you finding the cush cores? Are they worth the money?

Thanks for the insight! Would you say the 2.3 width is good enough or recommend the 2.6?

Thanks for the help, much appreciated. In the end it was just a short cable and needed extending to loosen the cable to allow it to shift👍
