I'm not 100% on this, however I believe that if you have just got the plip remote you'll also need the receiver that matches this (although I seem to remember mention of someone decoding some or something...). Either way, the original Plips are pretty useless mainly due to being through infra-red technology. Not many CXs have a working plip and if they do you sometimes see owners pointing at various angles through the windscreen to get it to work!
I know a few CXers have retro fitted a modern plip system, here's a quote I found on the CCC:

Unfortunately the sensor is not just a plug in swap for the original central locking module since the connector strip is at 90 degrees to the circuit board albeit is with identical wiring I had to make up 8 connector cables with a female spade on each end and then link them all up. The results were however very pleasing. I am not sure how a later Series two unit would fit differently?
Probably not the same, but the BXers have done something similar -

What wheels and tyres are you running? I seem to remember your car being on Alfa Alloys at one point, although I think it's on the original T-Slots? Pressures in the manual are the ones to go by...
Stormrage wrote:* Headlight Bulbs - I might have got this wrong so bare with me! - The bulbs that are currently fitted produce a yellow light which I assume is in keeping with the originals, can anyone recommend somewhere I could get replacements from that also produce a yellow light?
Have a look on eBay - you've two choices really. You can buy the yellow bulbs, or buy yellow caps that fit over normal H4 Bulbs.
