Hi all,
Just bought a 57 plate FL2 to replace the family Qashqai. Train from Newcastle to Doncaster & an enjoyable 2hr drive home. I’ll be looking to fit some wider & taller tyres, roof bars/basket & wondered if they’re any mods worth doing. EGR blanking etc? Cannanyone recommend a reversing camera with screen to fit? This car will be my daily driver, shooting bus & will tow a horse trailer once we start our catering business. Any advice appreciated & I’ll start reading through the forum. Thanks

Advice > block paving could do with power washing only kidding car looks very clean welcome to the mad house

Give me a break, the snow has only just cleared...

looks tidy, hope the miles are nice and high, just turned 160,000 in mine yesterday, nice to see someone else from the north east get a silver one.
guessing its had the belt etc changed at 10 years ?

Does it feel much better than the Nissan? 2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -

156k mate. Timing belt/water pump, clutch/flywheel all done within the last 10k with recipts to prove. The Nissan had to have the DPF deleted & was very ‘plasticy/cheap’ to drive. This feels better than my Audi A6 I had. Lovely car to drive.

Good job you got rid of that nissan before the new DPF rules come in to play.

Theres going to be a lot of cars fit for junk the next time they go for an MOT, maybe its the gooberments way of helping the car industry while pretending to make us all safer.

Side steps and new wheels will make a huge difference to the looks.

Wouldnt bother with the side steps unless you are vertically challenged.
Welcome, enjoy the motor
Has it had a door painted at a time? Front and rear doors look different shades of silver, although might just be the photo? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I have no comprehension of what this pizza craze is all about, but I would never pay more than £1.69 for a pizza (Iceland).

Its really just bread with a little topping, I guess the profit margin must be the big attraction as it must be huge, a lad in South Shields gave up running a pub to do the very same thing, which suggests to me large profits.

Anything costing around £7- £10 for me has to be an indian takeaway no contest. . .  2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -

Theres a mobile fish and chip shop around my way. Has friers and everything in the back, he makes a killing going to local businesses and sitting in the car park, car boots, and all that.

not a food snob at all, Iceland stuff is lush, not far off retirement pension, but until then cant afford M&S stuff, but even that is vastly overprice for what it is.

Buy what you can afford I say, I cant afford much , just one level above a food bank  2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -
