Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
The one that comes out of the wheel arch. That valve is the emmissions control valve that purges the charcoal canister in the wing. The outlet pipe on the valve goes to the right hand of the two centre pipes on the plenum.Cheers for that mate..with luck I can now sort it out
If you remove as much water as you can, and if the water does not affect the spark plugs and the engine actually starts, you'll be OK. Water by itself will not cause damage - to the engine or cats - in fact in the early '90 there used to be a retro-fit water injection kit that injected water into the inlet manifold - it was supposed to help get a more controlled combustion process. The water will clear itself - but again as long as it is not excessive i.e. flooded cylinders etc.
QuoteI meant down the spark plug holes of the affected cylinders. This isn't a huge deal unless you leave it a really long time, however you don't want rust in the cylinders. Therefore, unless you get the car running in the next couple of days I would suggest spraying WD40 in the cylinders and turning the engine over every few days just to be careful. You know how brakes look after a heavy rain!QuoteAlso check the dipstick for signs of water in the oil. If you aren't running the engine today then spray some WD40 in the cylinders.Hi,
I have checked the oil so far so good..and WD40 sprayed down the inlet manifold..just wish the rain would stop...the main reason for the water getting in was the scuttle was removed and my atempt to seal the engine compartment off failed
...hopefully no long term damage [smiley=undecided.gif]
Cheers Gord.

.....oh well I hope there is no damage done! time will tell (fingers crossed).Cats should be OK, they create water in normal use so should be OK once they warm up fully.

Were both camcovers on? If not there could be water in the sump, the oil floats on top of the water so the pump would pick up water rather than oil. If so drain and refill
Can you get a syringe or pipet and suck the water out.....

NopeAt usually 20p per bulb....for stop/tail/indicator bulbs....i goto haulfrauds
Off over next 4 days, will rip the rather thing out and test it. Both seats do it, are the motors up to 15 stone?
