I have jump leads and WD40 in the boot and a flashlight in my glovebox.

My car was really stubborn on Saturday. Had been raining most of Friday and quite heavy later on/during the night. Got in the car on Saturday and it started, wasnt running to great, abit lumpy etc but my coolant sensor is needing replaced so just thought it was that. Went to the petrol station. Filled the car and came out, turned the key and nothing. Had to push it from the pump. Got it started but was running really lumpy and misfiring. Ran for a bit then cut out. Got it going again but as soon as I touched the accelerator it died. Ended up spraying wd40 over the ignition coil/dizzy/ht leads. Been fine since then.

Your right about the rust 2 out of four of mine have suffered, the other two were sourced from down south where there's less grit.

I've seen down hill with a tail wind 140's on a 16v speedo, it may have have gone higher but it was shaky as hell so was concentrating.

not a clue - with a squirrel tail F2 spoiler it's never been that high in 5th

6600rpm it was a cordoba SX though not an ibiza, same car until you get behind the driver seat.
