na switches all need to come apart then cut out the old bulb and solder in the new ones, bit fiddly! but ive never done it before so was just taking my time
started attacking the interior switches and swapping them over to white LED's

After...
done the central locking and rear heated screen button too..
need to go back to the scrappies and get a set of dynamique dials with the trip computer and the stalk with the button to...
its condensation in the plastic rocker cover, nothing to worry about and if you take it to a garage you will end up paying for an un needed head gasket as ive heard plenty do before lol
I find sport a bit useless and drive in race 90% of the time and normal 10% of the time.
reason being if I want to just cruise about in auto then normal mode is just fine, if I want full control over the gearbox and the fastest changes and best noises then race is perfect, sport sits oddly in...
went back to the scrappies today and got the matching doorcards for the dash strips and some chrome dynamique interior handles, just waiting on dave getting back to me about the RS seats and ill pick them up too!
lambda after cat wont affect running just give you a warning light as far as I know it will be the pre cat one if its a lambda causing the issue which would be my next port of call since you have done the coils (common on this engine) and the plugs since it hasn't been serviced

financial suicide, which is what generally makes it a fun thing to do lol!!
say you spend £20k and in 5 years its worth £7k, your not really any worse off than if you bought a brand new car which makes it seem a little less daunting
HOWEVER, these projects 60-70% of the time get abandoned half...
at least half of my clios have all had faulty door or boot switches so if you unlock it, open boot or a door it will auto lock 30 seconds later and when you close the boot lock it lol, pull the door from the top its flimsy enough to get a long wire in to press the unlock button on the dash or...
Fair play! We use 1.2 16v Dynamiques, about to move over to 0.9 TCE's since the 1.2 has now been discontinued.
be interesting to see how the clutch packs gets on as the miles gets up, we change the cars at about 140k/3yrs usually just as they are starting to need a clutch
i was originally looking for non RS seats as they are cheap cheap cheap but id take 172/182 ones if there going cheap!! PM me a price and ill see if I can justify them ?
nothing much new happened, took her for an MOT to see what needed done next and it sailed through with not a single advisory! so now on the lookout for a nice set of 15" wheels for it, it needs new dampers at the front as they are past it so need to work out if i want to just put a standard pair...
