    1400 rally car shenanigans

    Ordered my Haynes on Friday ... Just a waiting game for now. Just FYI I may be going down the route of "rallying" this 1.0L. We'll have to see how things go.

    1400 rally car shenanigans

    Huggy I need to know where to locate the "6 bolts" I spent easily over an hour the other day and only managed the bend the poxy seat on the corner.... It's like a fortress down there. Cheers mate. I don't suppose you got any pics of where the bolts are?

    Ah really. I'll give it a go later if I can rob the girlfriend/mother's make-up drawer. Where did you order your mud flaps? Were they a straight fit or was there some alt's needed? Need a red set (x4) and was wondering if any were better than others? Thanks in advance.

    Uh oh! Every now and then when I turn the key up to ignition the "Engine Check" light flickers. The engine will then not start. I turn it off, take the key out. Turn it again and the light doesn't flicker thus starts. What could this be? Has anyone had this problem before? Regards,
