Swap the relevant parts round with the other lamp to identify which bit is knackered -

So it was fine before you changed the gearbox oil? You must have knocked a sensor cable or something if so -
The Bluetooth ones and torque app are decent
-
I've been toying with getting one, you can tell it to turn the engine fan on and all sorts

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

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! .

Not unless it's causing it to over fuel by some margin that will cause you to fail the HC emissions test

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!

One owner from new is a key point from me when buying a car, seems you got a good one from your other posts -

Ha I did 60k in mine in 3 years, get some use out of them! -
If you want to look silly, yes

I'd suggest the exhaust is loose at a joint

They are having your pants down there. Through quidco etc you clean get AA cover for about 25 quid

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')
-
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!

I find skezza to be quite knowledgable and willing to get stuck in, and as such would like to nominate him
