    Default spanner light ... NO loss of power /performance??

    Had this twice today on starting the car no loss of performance etc, and on switching off the ignition it cleared it? Any thoughts or should I take it into the stealer? How much does it cost for them to check out the car? I knew I should have changed it before the warranty ran out!!

    Its a 1.9cdti

    The handbook says it could be water in the diesel filter? Anymore recommendations before I go and gingerly see the dealers

    dont know if theres a how to but there fairly easy to do just make sure you get the engine well heated up before you try to take them out they have a tendency to wring off then its major problems,ngk r go quality plugs about £9 or so youll need a pair of needle nose pliers,a 10mm deep socket and ratchet,disconnect the electrical plugs unbolt the plug ,put the new plug in recconect the electrical plug and so on for the rest hth

    excellent mate ta, I'll go on the hunt for these then. Has the haynes manual come out for this car yet? Might have to crack on and get one. Might even do a write up if i get chance.
