   standard air box with a panel filter and a cold air feed would be better as it wont be sucking it hot air if you have more money to spend then a simota or bmc cda kit looks good
   what saxo do you have?

   Yep! certainly for the time being. That air filter won't be doing you any good at the moment.

   I've got a BMC kit on my 03 VTS and it's amazing. Had a green filter in the standard box before and could notice a real difference in response, plus it sounds amazing and looks the tits!

   Good idea goin back to standard, always a good way to go on a budget. Changing induction kits/air boxes is relatively easy. But I'm sure someone local will be on hand to help.

   Just unplug the battery for 10 minutes and the engine management light will go out. Usually dosent come back, but if it does then get a diagnostics.
