The heaters still work fine, Get both hot and cold.

I used prestone 50/50 mix ready to use coolant

Yeah I took it for a 15 minute drive and its still the same. It's pretty much the same temp as the old one, maybe just a tiny bit lower

It's only dropped off since I've replaced the thermostat, that's all

I've just changed the thermostat this afternoon due to having a faulty one. So I changed it, left it running with the expansion cap off and topped up the coolant as necessary and it gets up to temp fine. But when I turn the heaters on hot full blast the temperature gauge drops to about halfway. Any ideas? Thanks

So if I go to a decent garage that does 4 wheel alignment they will be adjust it to within the correct tolerances which should stop it pulling

Could well be. I've owned the car for just over a year now and it's only started doing it recently

How big of a job is aligning the subframe?

Yeah tyre pressures are exactly the same on each corner. It doesn't pull as such, it's more a wonder/veering off to the left when I let go of the steering wheel. Sometimes it can be okay though and stay in a straight line

Front left camber is -1.10 degrees, front right is -1.25 degrees. The tears are pretty much the same aswell

Yeah seems quite common on these doesn't it. Annoying but livable

Did you replace both bushes? I think that might be the next job to do

Yeah I did get a print out. The front left caster, to current measurements, is 4.09 degrees positive. And the front right is 3.32 degrees positive. I haven't taken either consoles off during ownership, however the previous owner said he replaced the rear console bushes with the uprated cupra ones.

Tyres are pretty much brand new and matching. How much did you lower yours by?

Had this problem for a little while where my car is wondering off to the left, pretty much from 30mph upwards when I let go of the steering wheel. Today I lowered my car on AP coilovers (was on standard suspension) and have replaced both top mounts, both drop links, near side ball joint and track rod end. Just went and got my tracking done but it's still wondering to the left. The guy that done my tracking did say the offside wishbone was a quarter of an inch further back to the nearside. Would this be the problem? Thanks
