As part of the overhaul I have just done on the engine I replaced dist cap, rotor, plugs (put some of those funky bosh 4 earth things in), leads (Electrosport 80), fuel filter and several oil seals. Reconned driveshafts too and added an extension to the K&N to put it in the wing as before it was ...

Quick reply - will edit when I get to work ;)

Thanks for the MAF info. Wasn't sure about its solvent tollerence so I wouldn't have tried it till I had a definate yes/no. Tapping 'seems' to make no difference.

Running it in now and ...

I have seen other posts about it being the same as the 1.6 clutch, however...

I am in the UK and have an AZ-3 1.5 (E-EC5SA - B551-5) but I am having trouble sourcing a clutch for the car. No one in the UK seems to think that the 1.6 clutch will fit, but they say that about everything on this car ...
