^Thanks for that surely that cant be the airbox can it? it covers the whole top of the engine.

None right now will try to get some up later. The best way i can describe it is like a black plastic casing cant see plugs or leads or airbox just a pipe coming from right side of engine.

Hi all just wondering i got an 04 plate 1.2 16v which has like a cover all around the engine meaning that i cant get at plugs, airbox etc. was wondering if there is any way to remove this and what it would affect if i did?

But a no go with 17s right?

So maybe 50 or 60 mm will give it the height im looking for. concerned about the arches tho used to have an escort lowered 65mm only on 15s tho and wheels were pretty much touching the arches.

Sorted 40mm sportlines it is, cheers guys

Think mine are 40 or 45 profile. I think it would be ok if i ditched the subs as it sits about 10-20 mm lower at the back with em in.

Wow grass cutter lol so do you think i could get away with 40mm, just to me the top of the wheel looks very close to the arch.

Lol how much room you left with on the rears.

Also might be worth mentioning i got a big chunk of ICE in the boot.

Lol darn it just tryin to prevent it looking like a 4x4 a bit lower than standard.

Cheers what do you think i would be able to get away with.

Hi all got a 1.2 16v dynamique with 17" pro race 1.2s looking into lowering the car now possibly on sportlines -40mm but there isnt a lot of room under the rear arches im thinking major scrubbing would take place lol Is there anything that can be done to prevent this? Cheers guys

Thanks for all the replys guys but ive plumped for an extractor pump as previously stated you pay for the convenience doesnt add up spending hours under the car trying to get the darn thing out.

Heard someone mention these before are these any good and where could i get one? As ive just about had it with this plug.

have spoken to garage about this they were reluctant to touch it because as they said if ithe bolt breaks it means new sump, or does it?

lol I'll bear that in mind using a universal tool from Halfrauds seems to be a snug fit in the hole. Even tried using a trolley jack to press the tool firmly in the hole then using pliers to turn it.

Thanks for the replys guys! Tried mole grips and pliers but that much force is needed the tool is moving inside the hole! Would heating that area be a good idea obviously with oil being on the other side?

Hi all, my first post on the site please go easy on me lol Got a 2004 1.2 16v need to change the oil but cant seem to get the drain plug out. Bought the corect tool for the job but the damn thing wont move its just rounding off the hole!! Really starting to lose my patience with this now...
