no, it's full. Haynes has the wrong capacity quoted.

Punto 60 box 1.65l so I'd guess around 1.4l
Yes, I had a lovely evening last night with the wiring diagram, and it all matched what was on the car.

the diagram in haynes is correct for early (1993/94) cinqs, but thats about it. don't call it the book of lies for nothing!

Saturday night with the wiring diagram,:slayer: you scots know how to party don't you
So the portman ones are better.
Is it worth putting the haynes back on fleabay and investing in a portman?

Er, maybe. But generally the Porter ones are not as good!
If you want a Sei manual, then lots of folk on eBay do the factory one on CD.
I'd say get all 3, I've got a haynes and the workshop manual CD... friend has the porters & the 3 of them make a perfect set.

If it makes more sense, my weekend is Tuesday and Wednesday, so Saturday is just a weekday night.

this sounds stupid but would the wrong amount of oil affect changing down? it changes up better than ever! but going down its hard to get into second and impossible to get into first unless absolutly still!
Very doubtful. If you did it on level ground, then the top plug dictates how much oil goes in.
More likely your clutch needs adjusting. (Or you need to learn to double de-clutch!)

well oil was still trickling out when i put the plug in, only a little trickle though. could that be it?
i was thinking the clutch needed adjusting but it just seems to be worse since i changed the oil!

No, the trickling is what makes it correct, so to speak.

hmmm, think the clutch needs adjusting then. hope the hanyes values for the clutch are correct
Well, sort of. The Porter gives 115 to 155mm travel for the pedal. I always do it by feel, anyway..........
