Misfire help - what could it be??
Take the plug out and look at it, if the cylinder hasn't been firing but fuel is getting through then the plug will be soaked in fuel and will smell of it as well.

Don't want to hijack your thread but I'm having the same trouble with a stock engine on my no 1 cylinder. I've done all the checks as well, including changing the spark plug but still not working :sneaky2: So I would like to know possible other causes of this.

I'm getting a fish!! Any advice?
If your setting up a large tropical or marine tank then I'd agree with you mate, but what I suggested for goldfish is perfectly safe for them. I've being doing this for twenty years and not had a problem. Nice Oscar by the way but I'd have called him Brian :tt2:

Cruise control faults
Have a look at the label on your seat belt, the date on that is a pretty good indication of when the car was actually made.

You don't have to do all that work with the prawns. Just get some Stress Coat for the water conditioning and Stress Zyme+ for the live filter bacteria. Set the tank up and put the required amount of each in the water. Leave the tank with the filter running for a couple of days and then add a couple of fish. Don't put all 5 of the fish in at once as this will upset the balance. Leave a couple of weeks, then add another one. Do this until you've got the five goldfish you want. Make sure you put the tank in a good position away from direct sunlight and radiators. Every time you change the water or clean the filter add some more of the stress stuff. Oh, and don't over feed them..

slam panel measurements please (pretty)
Daz, If your thinking about making one mate, why not get out the cardboard and make up a template to fit. I haven't got one myself but they look pretty straight forward fitments. You shouldn't have any trouble making one up mate.

Plenum water bypass?
I've got the plenum off at the moment and want to do the water bypass, but I'm a little bit confused as to what I can remove and what the bypass actually bypasses? if that makes sense. Are the pipes i've arrowed the ones that will be bypassed and can be removed?
