    Had the tracking done on my car today, which by the way was way out and I come to turn the car on and these lights were all on. Any advise? I ve taken out the Brake pedal switch, un plugged it and fitted that again as a few have suggested that but has made no difference.

    New front&rear speakers

    Changed my standard speakers this afternoon, a 20 minute job if anyone fancies doing it, very easy to do. Replaced them with Alpine 200w fronts and 100w JVC rears. They needed wire adaptation to connect up to the plastic connectors (£4 for a pair). The car had a Phillips head unit and sounds ok...

    Engine tappet noise

    When accelerating at any speed hard or steady there is always a tappet noise like older fords used to get. None of my other clios made this noise but they had only done mid 70k and this one has 107, could this be just engine wear? The car drives fine and pulls well so I'm not too concerned apart...
