No mate it doesnt go off at home,That ignition trick turns off the sensors but,not sure if thats just the cabin ones or inc the bonnet sensor to.Hopefully its just the bonnet sensor that needs replacing. ok thanks,i need to give my seats and cards a clean,i was thinking of using the AG...

I think so mate until you get it sorted properly i guess to find the actual fault.I only do it at work as the trucks going past seem to set it off,i may disconnect the bonnet sensor and if its just that. Also what did you use to clean the cloth on the door cards?

How does everyone with a 172 or 182 keep the front Grilles looking fresh without having to Paint or replace them?,as upper one you can get your finger in but lower one is much harder.

You should at least take it out mate while weather is good with no rain,just make sure the coolant has been done and fan kicks in?

When you park the car,put the ignition on twice but dont start it,step out quickly then do the key fob,then it should beep a few times.

Have you done the ignition trick mate to see if the alarm still goes off?

Yeah 2118's are a great wheel,i would like to get a set at some point in the future. yes mate with the alarm,i have to do the ignition key thing each time i park at work to turn the sensors off,i might just get a new bonnet sensor soon.I did fit one about 4 years ago tho,so guess dont last long.

Just a quick one,driving down to Cornwall next fri from Essex,what would anyone recommend for tyre pressures in this heat with camping gear and two people in the clio. Ive read some say higher some lower pressure,at the moment its 33psi Front & 30 rear with yoko s-drives.

Im thinking of doing the same mate,evo seems to be all dream cars. How much is the subsciption please if you dont mind me asking.

I didnt even know there was such a Magazine,maybe a reg buy now.

Just a heads up lads on this months issue of Modern Classics magazine.On sale from today,Looks a good one! Now ive just got to find a shop that sells it.

Cool and still all ok?

Just a quick one mate,did you buy an original knock sensor or one from euro car parts?

Had the orange eml light pop on the other day.Car runs drives fine,mpg is all good to. I borrowed a code reader off of @Dr Jekyll and this is what it read I also erased the code and it hasn't come back on since. But is this most likely just to be the knock sensor?
