Waking up on my nice lazy day off to hear the sports news. A lad I'm very fond of who played for Middlesex for a season has been hit on the head by a ball in a match back in Australia and despite wearing a helmet he's received a serious head injury and had to undergo emergency brain surgery. He's in a critical condition. It's touch and go right now. Proof that one second life is chugging along nicely and the next it can all hang in the balance.

Sales from an unconnected dealer promised a waterproof buck top and the one fitted isn't.
Not sure any of the approved ones are.
So no good throwing your toys out of the pram at me.

wife's clio 1.2 16v

she complained of a misfire, so I got round to trying it today. At first no fault found then it started to misfire and the management light appeared.

I got it home and checked the diag. Single cylinder misfire. checked the obvious like wiring round the ECU. changed the plugs. Still misfiring.

so I guessing either coil pack or injectors both notorious on these.

Damn, why is nothing simple.
