Many thanks everyone!

Plenum? Is that what causes wet carpets? How easy / hard of a job is it to clean them out?

[QUOTE One last bit of advice. Don’t worry about wrong fueling, just smell the end of the filler pipe before you put it in the tank. [/COLOR][/B][/QUOTE]


It's early morning when I'm on autopilot which is going to be the issue!

Wet carpets can be an issue, but that's usually due to the drainage holes in the boot and under the driver and passengers footwell becoming blocked. The plenum is another drainage hole on the outside of the car, which when blocked can damage the ECU. There's a how to on modifying the plastic panels under the windscreen so that you can easily check it for blockages here:

http://www.75ztcommunity.co.uk/plenu...mod-t3886.html

Alternatively we have a nano meet held in Wolverhampton every month or so where you can have you car checked over for things like the above plus other common faults like turbo intercooler hoses and lower engine mounts.

Good luck!

Just to clarify David, the plenum is the void between the engine compartment & the bulkhead, the plenum drains are the tubes found on the inner wing & more importantly, under the ecu & pollen filter at the base of the plenum
