glad thats done
well had the car 2 and a half years now so thought it was about time i changed the plugs and leads,
wasn't looking forward to it as it looked like a pain in the arse to do but wasn't to bad only taken about 40 mins. was surprised to find one of the rear spark plugs only half way screwed in though guess that explains the random missfire at 3000 rpm at full throttle that has now gone lol, its a totally different car to drive now has a nice smooth idle witch it didnt before which i thought was down the the 3.0 cams but obviously not also pulls better and doesnt seem to have the flat spot it used to have either can't belive its a 148000 mile engine
also the inlet manifold gasket looked like it had not been replaced when the previous owner had been messing about painting the inlet manifold.
