Listen to the gearbox whilst idling push the clutch in and out and listen for rattling also on the drive listen to it carefully for any odd noises.They are notorious for eating their gearboxes but others give no trouble.

For the 1.2 I believe they changed the design of the tensioner around 2002/2003 due to the camchain problems described above.We just bought a 2005 model 1.2s 12v 64bhp and we are seriously impressed with it.It has a nice spec with AC front fogs, alloys and a decent sounding factory stereo.It will si...

Just a normal 30cm extension will suffice.

Thanks Alex yes I was thinking the same thing and yes sorry its a 6n 1.4 16v

Would really like to sample this engine. Imagine that engine in a 6N or 6N2 im guessing its been done or will be very soon.

Morning all

Im considering changing my plugs as I occasionally get a slightly rough tickover and it has cutout a few minutes after starting but that happens rarely. Im told I need a 14mm socket but how long an extension bar will I need ?

Yes spot the dufus

Having driven it for a couple of weeks now I think I have too much positive camber. What do you think ? As you know I had the tracking done two weeks ago and although its better I still get some tramlining. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iUPWymWpFbY/U0Q6KeTfznI/AAAAAAAAInA/ipQQhF7IHZs/w737-h553-...
