Because the spark plugs were a little bit fouled up

But at least it was something nice & easy to sort

Just gave em a clean with a wire brush & they'll be fine

I really do need to get the car set up properly though as it is running quite rich & im not getting the performance or MPG that I could be.

Also noticed that my Fuel hose is perished. Time for a new one of those I reckon

But the perished bit only goes this far so It'll be dead easy to sort

Matt, I'm moving mine....

As you look at the engine bay, mount it to the bottom left, and attatch it to the inner wing.

I have a tank there already though

And the ABS thingy is in the way on the other side

Not actually 100% sure what the tank is on the left hand side. Anyone else got something similar?

FPMSL

Looks like an oil catch tank - does it have a breather pipe coming off the headlamp side?

Get a smaller catch tank and you've got loads of room for the header tank.

Yeah i knew it was an oil catch tank. It says "oil" on the cap

I just dont understand Why its there. No one else seems to have one. Isn't there a breather mod that most people do on the c20xe?

So, is that just a posh version of the Sprite bottle most people seem to use?

Not sure of the capacity of mine, but it was about 3/4 full after about 1500 miles.

Contents were very watery... can't be good for all that to go back into the engine surely?

Ok, so that's either both of us are fine, or both have engines running on Evian.
