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

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?

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


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

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

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?

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.

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.

Yeah I was thinking about moving the header tank but Im not sure where I could move it to :boggle:

right im guessing the fuel hose is the bit squased against the header tank?
if so move the tank
look in my garage for ideas off my old corsa

nect up the fuel line, go to halfords they do set lenths of the stuff in diff diameters. will be more than strong enuff for that car

Because the spark plugs were a little bit fouled up :o



But at least it was something nice & easy to sort :) Just gave em a clean with a wire brush & they'll be fine :D

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 :o



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