December 3, 201411 yr Blew the Spark "plug " out ? Or did it blow a boost hose off (cos they normally make a pop sound )
December 3, 201411 yr Definitely spark plug, left it with my brother in law last night. Got a message before which consisted of these words exactly... "Coil pack smashed and plug fu**ed. Threads in head damaged... oh s**t" So not sounding good :(. Not 100% how serious that is?
December 3, 201411 yr Who did the last plug change bud ? Second hand coilpacks are cheap enough about £50 for all 4 So it Does depend on the extent of the damage to the threads really , best of luck, fella
December 3, 201411 yr The plugs have been in for a year, I took the car is because it had a bad misfire. We found 2 of the coil packs were knackered so replaced them. (Also had turbo refurbished and a new up pipe put on). Car was running lovely after it but turbo had to be run in, after doing the run in period we give a bit and a misfire started again and plugs were going to be replaced tonight... car gave it up last night so didn't make it. I would say the misfiring cylinder built up too much pressure?
December 3, 201411 yr Good news, he's sorted it :). Running much better now! I love a happy ending :)
December 3, 201411 yr Adjusted the bracket on my new exhaust cos i'm fed up of it constantly bashing the heat shield . Removed a nicely toasted snail from inside said heat shield . Gave her a good thrashing (car not snail) up and down the motorway to test :D . Had a chat with another scooby driver at the petrol station.
December 4, 201411 yr Everyone likes a happy ending ;). Wonder how the long the snail had been there... probably the fastest it has been in it's life!
December 4, 201411 yr have you tried driving into manchester in rush hour at the moment, even a toasted snail would be quicker. Mind you once they finish putting in the new bus lane everyone will be using public transport so the roads will be empty
December 4, 201411 yr Hopefully... either that or everything thinks the same as you and the roads still end up busy ;).
December 4, 201411 yr Probably the latter and we will be fighting for 2 lanes instead of 3 or I could always get rid of the scooby and buy a bus. :)
December 4, 201411 yr yeah but i could get the money back from the passengers I pick up. Oh no! that would make me a bus driver, scrap that i'll stick with the bike.
December 4, 201411 yr Last day in Ireland, heading off tonight for the long haul home, only 220 miles but obviously there's a 2.5hr ferry crossing first. Aiming to be home early hours[emoji17]. Still at least the roads will be empty. Lie in tomorrow. Taxed car last Friday, got email last night saying i'd got bank details wrong and that now car wasn't taxed, not helpful as in Ireland. Several calls later managed to convince someone at DVLA that I could pay direct over the phone. Means I can drive home without fear of a fine, would have had to drive whether taxed or not but pretty sure they've got ANPR systems on the A55. Lucky escape in the end [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 4, 201411 yr Cheers bud. Going to the duty free on ferry to buy me a leprechaun, get some luck going Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 4, 201411 yr Got the new tyres fitted an asked them to do a four wheel alignment. Rears were out 4mm, although they said the bolts were seized on so they couldn't do it. Would 4 mm effect things? They adjusted the front wheel alignment, although now my steering wheel isn't straight. Annoying. -.-
December 4, 201411 yr I would go back with that, easy for them to sort :). Should have done it right in the first place really
December 4, 201411 yr Author Yeah i'd go back sounds like they couldn't be arsed all it will need is some heat and gentle persuasion,
