Yeah it's looking very much that way making them way more expensive. It will probably come down to how much you really want the car and are willing to pay for it.

I would love a 3.0 G30 but not at the minute so I certainly won't pay over the odds for it!

Na, a 7er would just be too big for me.

ShadowHearth · 25-01-2019 02:49AM

I am just browsing donedeal 191 cars and I sow that they have Seat leons back with that 1.5tsi engine. Looks like to comply with new testing, they droped it to 130hp from 150hp.
I wonder if all VW group will detune their 1.5 engines now.

GustavoFring · 25-01-2019 07:51AM

There's always been a 130 and 150 version of the 1.5 in different markets. The 130 is the replacement for the 1.4 125 in it.

CIP4 · 25-01-2019 09:43AM

Yes you can still get the new Leon in 150bhp as well as the 130bhp with the new 1.5tsi engine which replaced the 1.4. There was a 191 excellence 1.5tsi 150 dsg on Carzone earlier in the month.

A SEAT Alhambra drove past me this morning with a red nose on it, on the 25th of January... Seriously.

Oh, that's nothing - some of them will still have them in April! :pac:

There should be penalty points for anyone caught with them on their car after 1st January :pac:

There's a truck in work with a nose on since Christmas 2017. It's now brown and shriveled up.

Makes a change from the other brown noses I see at work, that's for sure!

What bothers me about it is, we appear to have people in charge of motor vehicles who are distracted to the point of not realising that the stupid-looking antlers that they actually do remember to take off after Christmas were accompanied by a stupid-looking red nose and, worse, these people never, ever, ever, look at the fronts of their cars. :pac:

You are right, they replaced 1.4tsi with this new one, but I dont see any 150hp versions of leon yet.
Thing is, I sow some new vag 2.0 tdi 130hp instead of 150hp.
So question is: due to new test they have to detune engines or they have two hp options for same engines in vag range.

Edit: They finally updated Seat configurator. 1.5tsi 130hp manual and 1.5tsi 150hp dsg. You can't get 150hp manual, which is a bit weird.

Has anyone ever heard of a catalytic converter being stolen from a car? It happened to a colleague of mine a few days ago.

Certainly a growing problem in the UK. I think SUVs are most at risk due to ground clearance making it easier.

I have heard tell a couple of years back that they were being cut out from under Land Rovers and the like.

Yes but more out of truck's someone was saying even some of the car one's are very valuable!

What car? Some cars have cats worth €€€

Toyotafanboi · 25-01-2019 05:12PM

It's supposed to be a huge problem with Mk2 Prius at the moment. They are particularly valuable and particularly easy to steal. I've seen a few CCTV videos etc and the lads are in and out in 3-4 minutes.

OldMrBrennan83 · 25-01-2019 05:41PM

Isn't 3-4 minutes par for the course for the right people with the right gear for anything?

Yep. I thing the Mk2 Prius has a non standard type of cat that contains more precious metals than normal.

Reckless Abandonment · 25-01-2019 07:40PM

On the m50 today 3pm ish Audi on fire (only started by the looks of it) luckily timing an apex fire van was passing and pulled in to help. Hope they got it sorted in time.

Interslice · 25-01-2019 07:52PM

Nowhere does the add mention or have a picture of a free ladder! :pac: low ball offer coming soon i suspect

bazz26 · 25-01-2019 08:09PM

joujoujou · 25-01-2019 08:38PM

Will yis take half each?

CIP4 · 25-01-2019 10:35PM

My replacement Alloy arrived cleaner than I expected if anything one small mark on the edge but I used that to haggle down the price. Think I done alright on it at 150 euro.
