Danny, I've had mine since Jaunary - and only 1 fault. I had a DPF Pressure sensor fail when it had done about 30k. That was covered under warranty. It's now got 38k on the clock ad had it's first MOT yesterday - all well.

The only really known issue that I've come across is the DPF failure, and as far as I can tell, there is very little warning - it just goes, and is expensive when it does. I think there is a light that comes on to tell you that it's doing a re-gen, and i don't think that's a great sign, but not terminal. So far so good for mine.

There is a lot of info on Seatcupra.net - there is a whole tractor section!

Make sure that it hasn't been tampered with - re-mapped etc, as tempting as that is, it will kill the DPF. To the point that Revo won't provide do the re-map any more to a car that still has a DPF on it. They couldn't stop the DPF on their own test car from failing once they'd mapped it.

Whats the best price i can expect to get these fitted? pirelli p zero 225 45 17

I brought a car today and the rear tyres are almost shot. The guy said he'll either take £160 off the price of the car or he would fit the new tyres for me.

Im thinking the latter but want to make sure

Cheers

As long as he puts P Zero's on i'd let him do it - You'd be looking at around £90 a tyre fitted depending where you go but it's just extra hassle you don't need!

Or second thoughts, take the money off (ask for £200 for the hassle) and put it towards a set of 18's anyway?? I had mine refurbed (powder coated) and they look awesome now, will grab a pic
