Don't forget the Cursed Water Plug if it's a 1.6!

Is that the one at the back of the head? I had that canoe go on me a couple of months ago. Thought I'd cooked the engine.

That's the one - little bung thing, about a fiver to replace... Wasn't aware it was there as the issue is not very common on the forums, bar Yank forums!

For the price, all 1.6 owners should get it done as preventative maintenance!

I went belt & braces by using a short piece of silicon hose with a stainless bolt siliconed and pipe clipped.
Not the prettiest but hell you can see the little motherf*cker.

queenie: Hiya fellas and fellettes. My name is Gary, I am 72, live in rural Victoria (Australia), am an unashamed Anglophile and own a gold 1998 NB. I bought her in 2016, reflecting at the time that I had wanted a car like this since age 15. Yep, took me 50 years! Dec 31, 2023 5:58:34 GMT

Simon: Nice and quiet in here, but I'm back with vengance! Car with a knackered crank is now having a full rust and engine resto at Basset Down! Will be spenny, but excited to have a 'good' car again. Jul 2, 2024 16:29:20 GMT
