Hello,
Just a quick update, have had a good look at cats and there are best described as knackered. Could'nt get the paperclip test to work. Did manage to clean oil from 3 spark plugs and removed the ICV sprayed some cleaner and dropped some 3-1 in, this has made a significant difference to how car is running, and has given me a bit more time to get head around doing gaskets and breathers.

cheers

Hi,
My troubles grow daily,tried to do breathers but couldn't get the wipers off!! so only cleaned the bit under ecotec. Car running as rough as ever, will try new plugs and leads if I can get wipers off. Airbag light came on whilst i plugged in tyre inflator into cigarette socket. Does anyone know of an alloy fixer in glasgow as my nsf is leaking air.Now geyting a roar/rumble from osf wheel, and it sounds like my brake pads are rattling. I like the character of the car and I am running it on a shoestring just because of current circumstances but when  I read through this forums it seems the problems are never ending, anyway just thought I would thank again previous help and look forward to future suggestions.

Cheers

It's been a while since I did mine (shame on me  ), but IIRC you don't have to remove the scuttle to do the breathers.
