    running lean ??

    standard fuel pressure is 2.5 Bar. i found on a 1.3L with other mods the best running fuel pressure was 4 Bar. I was running without an air filter, adjusted the ignition timing, put in Bosch Super4 spark plugs and copper core HT leads.

    Remove rear damper

    you shouldnt have too many problems with the rear damper top nut.... theres a flat section on top of the damper rod. haynes manual suggests adjustable spanner on top of this, and a round ended spanner on the nut. if you cant undo them like this, get some bigger tools!
