Why is there no shrader valve on the Streetka fuel rail - the design of this thing just gets worse and worse every time I come to do some work on it!

No access to fuel pump from boot or interior of car to test the voltages to the pump etc - This car was not designed by a car mechanic!

It was designed by an idiot

    The MK1 seems to be a ford design. The MK2 (2008) is the fiat derived car.

    Streetka Dude , pregnant version of the Ka - Not the standard Rustbucket Ka!!!

    Then we have the Sportka whatever that is - if it burns fuel worse than the Streetka I would be surprised.

    I ask myself why did I buy a car called a KA - It means !REMOVED! in Ukraine!

    They've always been bad - no matter who designed / made them - even the brand new ones are grim
