I know that my 1.4 doesn't have one either. I was gonna look for one once, but i had zero intention of ever showing anyone under the bonnet, so i didn't bother in the end.

Animal or Gonzo

I've still never seen a 1.4 with one nut I suppose fitting one would give you 30 more BHP

Re: Muppet

Only if it was a carbon fibre one though Tom

Re: Muppet

Aye

Or polished stainless!

Re: Muppet

ha ha,id be happy if it gave my 1.4 1 extra bhp,reason im bothered is my car has been awful since winter,and that cover goes over spark plugs etc,i was wondering if maybe condensation was maybe dripping water near spark plugs/ht leads and causing it to sort of mis fire now and again,which it seems to do,once its warmed up its fine,i have new oil and plugs in,and been told ht leads are fine

Re: Muppet

'told' they are fine? Probably worth changing them

But didn't you say it runs ok on optimax?

 

[hobbo]

Re: Muppet

yes seems to run perfect with optimax,thats why it seems really strange,it has improved alot since using engine/injector cleaner,maybe i need my injectors cleaning properly,my car only has 52000 on the clock though

 

[Tom]

Re: Muppet

Only 1 injector

Change the leads anyway, they are not that expensive.
