Why wont my Renault 5 die? *Now with Video*
Ok, i have had this shitbox Renault 5 for about a year, and its MOT expired so we thought we would have a go at killing it on Saturday (Inspired by that Honda video 
).
This is what we have done to it so far, bear in mind it still runs, fires up and idles 
.
Into the carburettor we have poured:
Washing up liquid
Water
Sawdust
Cadburys Cream Egg
Swarfega
DOT4 Clutch Fluid
Spade connectors
Assorted nuts and bolts
Into the oil filler cap we have poured:
Washing up liquid mixed with water to form a nice bubbly mixture
Another cadburys cream egg
Some more Swarfega
Lots of nuts, bolts and crimp connectors
Leaves
Freshly cut grass
Water
Various piece of metal which were carved off the bonnet.
A small amount of headlight glass.
And to top it off, we ran it on 2 cylinders for most of the time.
The fucker just wont die, i cant believe it .
So, suggestions please (other than foot to the floor and watch a rod come through the block, imaginative answers only please
).

liquid brasso in the oil, will kick out the end shells in no time, shouldnt take long to drop a rod after that 
might have a 1.2 nova for the same treatment, but she got t&t still so might just take her out for a night of fun

A tried and tested approach with a Renault 5 is to drive it and brake with no brake pads thus eventually setting fire to the wheels and the car. It was unintentional but did destroy it

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Just put a turbo somewhere close to it - should be enough to scare it. The GTT's were always blowing up weren't they?
Change the plug leads round and see if you can get it to run backwards...

this running backwards idea sounds good, if u got an ratchet or similar high speed tool that will take a socket, should be able to start it from the crank pully!!!! starter motors wont spin the rong way cos the drive wont fire out!!!!
quality plan tho, and if she still drives means u can do 55mph backwards(think 55 is flat tap in a 5)
