Also another quick one. spark plugs. what size socket should i be using. my 15mm is too small. my 17mm is too big. so guessing its a 16mm spark plug socket? i.e. the one i dont have haha.

With ignition off, press and hold the trip reset stalk on the right. Keep it held and turn the ignition on. Then turn the clock adjust stalk (can't remember which way off the top of my head) and it should go out.

Can't help with plugs as the one supplied in my Halfords kit fits fine

keep the mileage reset held down when you turn the ignition on and turn the clock button to the right then relese the mileage reset. If its like mine the agu its a bit harder to get it off. maybe my cars trying to tell me something (i need a oil change)  :evil: If it still there after turning the ignition off then back on try this. Hold mile reset down ,turn ignition on ,turn clock button to the right and realse mile button then  :undecided: i think i had  :huh: ill remember tomorrow had to many beers.
