the problem is every mechanic I have spoken to is telling me that the exhaust has to run to the rear of the car, which means running a new exhaust.

fuel

the water light on the dash comes on, then its is in the bulb in the fuel filter. the lines arent crossed (99% sure) the washer lines arent connected to the fuel.
the amount of water in the fuel varies, it normally is about approx 100mm evry 3-4 months.
