and big news... some of u may remember that the reason im getting this car is cos i crashed my seat at xmas.. well.. when i crashed it i said that my brakes felt like they just didnt stop...

well my dad jsut got a letter from seat saying they are recalling all versions of my car (which is now written off) as the brakes are susceptable to failing!!!

but anyway... IVE GOT A NEW CAR...

sorry its not a ford but its extra pretty ill get pics of it when i go and pick it up tomorrow!!!!

xxxxx

me thinks you need to trace the seat you smashed, get it inspected and if brakes did fail.... sue seat imo

Well done

If Seat admit a fault go with Damo V and perhaps seek some sort of compensation so at least it off sets the cost of your insurance even if they don't take full responsibility. Insurance is hard enough for young people to get over there, never mind after an accident in a potentially faulty car.

well ive always ahd a problem with the stopping distance, even with new disks and pads... and the first thing i said when it happened was jsut that my brakes just didnt stop.... but i dont want to make a big deal.. see what happenes most imporant thing is that nobody was hurt!!!

soooooooooo excited about my car!!!!! ill clean it all up tomorrow and then get some pics up!!!

They're cool little cars - handle pretty well, and quite nippy round town.

Wish you well to use it

i really liked the car... but to be honest i had quite a lot of problems with it... electrics failure... brake problems...

i dunno if i would recommend them tho.... i drove a leon for a few months while mine was being fixed and that was lovely!!! i definitely wouldnt go for teh new seat tho, mine was the previous mark, 00 reg....

ive downgraded a bit with a corsa.. but still... it moves hehe
