The 1.2 16v engine suffers from having an absolutly rediculously designed intake system coupled with the fact the renault 16v engines breath very heavily and have a poor oil breather design.....oil and general gunk builds up in the lengthy intake system that could circle the world if layed out LOL, so try this first if you are having any idling rough running and misfire issues before changing any parts
it might just save you alot of time and money

there is a step by step guide to removing the inlet manifold here below:
-Getting to the inlet manifold-
- Unplug the ECU connectors and the map pipe and the charcoal canister plastic pipe on the left of the manifold.
- You need to unbolt the manifold from the head, this is the tricky bit, you'll need a 1/4 drive 10mm and a long extension to reach in the gap between the runners. There are 8 or 9 bolts.
- When that's done it will be loose, but at the back there's 2 vertical bolts holding it in.
- When that's done it will lift up, flip it over and you'll see the loom clipped to the underside and the throttle body, it's held in by T30 screws.
