Cheers Graeme, very useful.

Blimey Graeme, is this my TV?

Nice Car Mike if you need any extra power http://www.amdtuning...eferenceID=8290

Do you do a DPF delete?

We have just started doing a few and got some good gains.

I have now had the 500 1.3D for 3 years, covered 87k miles and the DPF regen light has only come on twice.

isn't there a recall going for all the VAG diesels for their injectors , the other recall is petrol tfsi and coilpacks

Not a recall but if you have problems and mention it they will change coil packs and the injectors without questions.

59 plate is NOT the same. PD170 is a pile of poo. 170CR is very good OTOH. I have run both. Get a PD140 instead! PD170 only happy being raped. And I mean raped with feeling. Even high miles it will always be in regen and fuel economy/drivability suffer. Injectors die, £500 each plus labour.

My CR170 returned 73mph on the way to work this morning and 43 on the way home (trying as hard as i dared). Returning less than that on a 50mile journey would be very challenging.

Slightly off topic, but going to look at a 55-reg Mk1 Leon 1.9TDi FR. This is obviously the older model and older engines (150 bhp). Heard they are generally very reliable, and not being the Golf, is actually decent to drive! Any advice welcome... PS.- My mates Mk2 Leon TDi died due to and injector fault! Not sure if he got it fixed under warranty, but got rid of it anyway...

They look good in yellow

But better than a Golf GTi in Red?

I also like the way the wipers park in a vertical position, the rear door handles are hidden and sleeker look. Not sure about silver mirrors even if they are the FR feature.

Off the top of my head I don't seem to recall black wheels being a standard 107 feature!

Nothing like a VX therefore not a VX, obviously I handed in my salesmans card the minute you left on Sunday (after relieving everybody else of their deposits of course)

I'm disappointed that you of all people have never heard of the famous Peugeot 107 VXR Racing Edition

I need a black fuel cap and cutouts for the seats to complete the look though.

That would be one of the last MK1's so might even be a FR+ (basically Cupra R styling with 17's and standard exhaust)

PD engine, so plenty out there. Only issue with the PD150 over any other PD engine, is the chocolate cam, but that was on earlier models. No idea if it was still an issue on the later versions

Got it and love it. T.Spark, your name came up in my post on CupraNet, seems I may be stalking you around cyber space. Will get some pics up at some point. Car went to Seat for a key reprogramme and they changed three injectors. Happy days.

My mate has just bought one of these also (literally the same weekend you bought yours!) and he loves it too. Pretty nippy little things aren't they.

[Graeme Lambert]

Looks good Mike. Great colour as well - the Leon really suits the brighter shades. Glad you're happy with it.

[T. Spark]

Yeah I get around alot :/ I have a friend with the same car (siemens ecu) and his should soon be running around 240hp and plenty or torques. So enough poke for a daily for sure
