I've Gone to the dark side...

I shall be filling up with the black nozzle from now on

Picking this up on Monday, its a Leon Cupra TDi FR, reasonably good nick - clutch was replaced last year , cambelt at 60k (on 83k now) seems to pull quite pleasantly for a tractor, paid £5650.

Very nice, do quite like these. Also they do feel pretty darn quick, especially after a remap.

mjt · 31 Jul 2010 at 14:52

Good choice, Sir.

Surprised it's already gone through a clutch though :eek:

Previous drivers can cause lots of bodily harm.

Those later edition alloys / fr bodykit really do make then very smart looking hatchbacks.

Skillmister · 31 Jul 2010 at 16:34

Really really want one

Remap > 190 brake... do it.

mjt · 31 Jul 2010 at 16:39

Really should remapped mine when I had it.
Although I probably would have lost my licence sooner

Very tempting that, very tempting indeedy

Previous owner had a factory fitted tow-bar which I guess might account for the replaced clutch

Can't wait for Monday !

They do a petrol version you know?
Infact I have one in red.
What's the bumper like for stone chips?

I had the petrol one before, not the 'R' though. Bumper is very tidy indeed, very impressed with the bodywork all in all.

The bumper doesn't really suffer stone chips, but the bonnet does. The paint isn't particularly thick.

Mine does. Loads and Loads of tiny white spots, it's a right mess.
If I could tell from more than a meter away I'd have it resprayed.

White? My bumper was black underneath..
My bonnet was another story though..

Mine has black plastic, but then white undercoat I presume. Then red on top.

Has yours gone now?

mjt · 31 Jul 2010 at 18:27

Hmm, my bumpers were black underneath the paint, weird.
Yeah, I sold it last week.

6k for a 6 year old diesel hatchback.

Great, I think.

What would recommend to someone looking for a diesel hatchback at this price range?

A petrol one?
