Ah ok, cheers for clearing that up mate :)

Thinking of selling my mk1 RSi and buying a mk2 DCi, on the DCi i assume it has a service light which comes on when its due ? If so is there any way of turning it off by myself ? As the DCi will be self serviced at home... Plus anyone got one of these...

Yeah cheers mate, just found assortment boxes of them on ebay for sale, but think i'll just go for a trip out tomorrow to local motor factors, and like you say its better to do it properly :) Ta..

Hiya all, There is major play in my steering and i've found that the collumn is missing a 'roll pin', firstly does anyone know where i could buy one from ? as not sure wether something like this will be stocked, or is it possible/safe to drill a slighly larger hole through and nut & bolt it...

Oh and ive got a sony cdx-gt5oui, cost £105 few months back and it seems pretty good (i was unsure of sony before i bought this one), on par with my old alpine headunit easily. nice features and easy to use with a quick usb read.

reply to onevish: On the sony or any (usb) reading headunit, if you want a playlist just plug usb into computer and open it and create differant files on it, i.e. differant playlists, atm mine is devided into types of music with 8 dif files and when its plugged into headunit the sub-files can...

Cheers, just got a quote and its saved me £100 and thats for FC insted of TPFT which was my previous best quote :)

Here's a couple in your area mate, dont know of there work but best to ring around and see some examples of there work. And yeah could do that, might work out abit more expensive not having it all done at once, but if your not sure it might be best to just do the rear's and see...

Dont know any around your area mate, but you'll be looking at £150-£250 for all round tints, and id say light tints if any, 35% all round, depends how bothered you are about being pulled for them. wouldnt go to dark tho, and normally looks better with the same % of tint all around imo.

Also would this be suited to replace the lambda sensor: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360026452571&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=023 ???? Because heard they where around the £90 region ? and there is only the one sensor on the mk1 clio's isnt there ? Thanks

what model/engine/year is it mate ?

Yeah when i re-book it i'll warm it up first, and emissions should be done within 10-15mins as only 3 other little bits to re-test. and i'll look into that thanks m8, and yea looking at that picture things could be worse lol :p Any one else got any idea's ? Cheers.

Also just read another previous thread about warming car up before mot emissions? I havnt run the clio in a week if that helps (other than 6miles to mot station) Thanks

Hey all.. just put n-reg rsi through its mot today, few little bit to fix which i knew of before, but the main problem was emissions :S 004: exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle excessive 005: exhaust emission lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specific limits 006...

As above, what have you got to loose ?? few quid in paint, end of day if it goes wrong just pay to have them done, atleast you'll know for future aswel... could save a fair amout over the years...
