Cupra aren't just EV's, they are Seat, they just changed the name in 2018, and all Seat have been since 1986 is a mish mash of the VAG parts bin.

That's my "mowing the lawn music" sorted for the day !
I try to do as much as possible myself, saves a fortune, it's really only anything on the cars that requires a lift that I farm out, but plumbing, electrical, carpentry, welding and fabricating etc I'll do myself, usually as it's a good excuse to hide in the workshop away from being found other things to do.
The NAS is an ancient Qnap TS-209 Pro II a friend gave me after the psu and cooling fan died, this is the first time it's failed again in about 10 years, it's only used for backing up photos and stuff from a car owners club I run, so nothing fancy.
I'm hoping to have a day off from having to fix broken things, so far this week
Monday and Tuesday - taking all the guttering, soffit trims and soffits down on the front of the house because a small furry thing nibbled the wires to the outside lights.
Wednesday - replacing a dead capacitor in the lawnmower.
Thursday - replacing the dead cooling fan in my NAS.
Friday - fitting two new glow plugs in one of the cars (I'll be glad when it's replaced with an EV).
Yesterday - stripping down the dishwasher and cleaning load of gunk out of it that was stopping water going in.
Quite a good cover version of that was done by Bruce Foxton , former bassist from The Jam, only made it as far as a B side though.

i's revelation comes as Rishi Sunak faces criticism for watering down some of the Government's green policies
The Government diverted £136m away from its electric vehicle (EV) supply chain fund to the UK’s main nuclear reactor project Sizewell C, i can reveal.
The Automotive Transformation Fund, a Government initiative designed to make it easier for car manufacturers to build and develop electric vehicles in the UK, spent just 5 per cent of its initially allocated funding in the year to March 2023, according to Government documents seen by i.
Given an initial budget of £191m, just £7m was spent and 76 per cent of the funding arrangement was transferred to the Sizewell C project, the construction of the UK’s first new nuclear power station in more than 30 years.
