  1. Swap the relevant parts round with the other lamp to identify which bit is knackered
  2. So it was fine before you changed the gearbox oil? You must have knocked a sensor cable or something if so
  3. The Bluetooth ones and torque app are decent
  4. I've been toying with getting one, you can tell it to turn the engine fan on and all sorts
  5. I never used to rate cone filters, my VX had one one when I got it, and it stayed on - it sounds fantastic. Antisocially loud, but god its good. I had a CDA but my mate gave it away thinking it was a cheapo copy
  6. Remove the pipe to clean it, remember to give the outlet a good clean too. The engine sounded strange, and the noise went away when you put more oil in? Aren't you a mechanic? If it was low enough to make a noticeable change in sound it must have been half empty! .
  7. Not unless it's causing it to over fuel by some margin that will cause you to fail the HC emissions test
  8. Just change it, if it gets worse you may end up being unable to take the car out of gear
  9. Squeaking clutch is probably the pedal box on its way out. Rattle could be a number of things! Is it when both moving and stationary?
  10. Either thermostat isn't working properly or the temp sensor is broken. You can get both changed for about £50 so you may as well do that - you will bet better mpg too so it will pay for itself!
  11. Does it go in fine when the engine is off? Are the pedals all at the same height? Are the other gears all fine?
  12. Sophie, I'm after a pair of interior door pulls, I assume they are chrome?
  13. I assumed he had been sent down after Operation Yewtree
  14. Do you have a garage full of cars scirocco? 250 miles a year!
  15. One owner from new is a key point from me when buying a car, seems you got a good one from your other posts
  16. Ha I did 60k in mine in 3 years, get some use out of them!
  17. I'd suggest the exhaust is loose at a joint
  18. They are having your pants down there. Through quidco etc you clean get AA cover for about 25 quid
  19. Could someone explain, from a technical perspective, what the two stroke oil is actually doing? I'm at a bit of a loss as to what is being achieved here, apart from Dblocks imagination getting the better of him ha
  20. Slightly more subtle than putting 'vote Rich' on every thread possible then ha? The more guides the better in my opinion, Lupos are often first cars, and guide to do simple things my be appreciated by younger members (I await 'Rich's guide to switching your headlights on')
  21. No, is it a guide on how to put chrome spinners on your Lupo or something similar that would cause me to retract this nomination ha!
  22. I find skezza to be quite knowledgable and willing to get stuck in, and as such would like to nominate him
