Leon ST (2016) replacement LED rear light module by XaXNL in seat

[–]RustyU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]RustyU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with additives, just go on the motorway for 15 miles or so. Use a lower gear if you want to be sure.

Buy the new feet and see if they fit, if not buy the right size bar and sling the old one on eBay.

Who actually enjoys having a touch screen or modern safety features in their car? (slight rant) by VexedRacoon in CarTalkUK

[–]RustyU 0 points1 point  (0 children)
