[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 93208, member: 264"] I have posted on Renaultsport forum, to see if Renault would produce a cover for the engine, or redesign the scuttle panel. But the first reply was this is an isolated case. [url]https://www.renaultsport.co.uk/community/forum/Forum_postst82135/Rusty-sparkplugs--Engine-cover/Default.aspx[/url] As Ollie has now mentioned, his car gets stored off the road over winter and is normaly a fair weather motor, yet his plugs have corrosion on them. Karls plugs and coils were in poor condition when Mulgari looked at them. The plugs from my spare cylinder head were very rusty so this isn't just an isolated case. The plugs which came out of my spare head [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7096/7296311128_096a2cd13a_c_d.jpg[/img] [img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7090/7296313262_0c39d1e914_c_d.jpg[/img] Karls plugs and coils [img]https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff181/yp53acj/IMG00423-20111011-1030.jpg[/img] So, if you have an RS133, have a good look around the coil area for any sign of water having collected and post here. Dubs also mentioned that his throttle body had been affected by water on the 1.2 engined model which also has the same scuttle. [/QUOTE]
