majik_thighs Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just had new plugs fitted......Dave, beware..........it`s a long and sweary job! Andy`s looked after all my girls in the past and he`s shithot with these engines but it`s the 1st time with the 6. In his words...WHAT A ******!! They were 70`000 mile plugs so it was slightly over due and he`s cleaned the injectors so lets see if it ups the MPG. I`m getting really crappy mileage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Oh joy....I'll look forward to the bill for that when the stealer decides it needs doing then.

stants Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Crappy LED sidlights gone again, two pairs in 3 months think I'm just going to revert back to 'normal' bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You`ll have to let us know the price Dave!..............I think I payed about £300 ish for one one my 98 model but that was about 10 years ago.....single box. are you just having a standard set or with a bit more roar. Also, you may want to have unequal headers, even with standard you get that fantastic burble as you lift off the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you may want to have unequal headers, even with standard you get that fantastic burble as you lift off the throttle. Been quoted ball park 450 but we will see how accurate that is. Driving round with the exhaust blowing a bit has convinced me I want something on the quiet side for normal running but that still gives you something audible when you boot it. Will see what they can come up with, but don't want to spend excessively Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think....and i`m no expert but I do have a grasp of basic physics......that the burble comes from one bank not being equal to the other so the escaping gasses get swirled around unevenly and clatter into one another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
