[Mk2] [SC] Damn its cold

Post by mav »

I must be mad, changing my spark plugs at 7 in the morning using my lead lamp to see what im doing but damn its cold out there.
Still I needed to change them urgently as number 3 plug was looking very unhealthy and I had a misfire.
Will be fitting the new leads later as that bit looks like its gona be a little tricky with having to thread them under the inlet manifold.

Quick cup of coffeee then its off to 3S to have my balljoints done. :mrgreen:

Ha, I was driving my mums car (with her in it) the other day when it was cold. I said "shame it's not mine, it'll go like stink"

She then asked why and I had to try and explain to her the science but she didnt get it ](*,)

Just tell her that the cold makes your car purr like a 6 month old kitten on acid!

Back from 3s, nice to meet James, some bloody lovely cars there I have to say.

I had the diagnosis wrong (Although I think I should be forgiven for thinking it was the ball joints) and its turned out my inner track rod ends are worn so I gotta get some ordered up then its back to 3S for fitting and alignment.

Thanks James fror the advice mate, much appreciated.

Drive home was fun though :lol:
