Dont forget to kill their families too

As for hanging...just reserve it for those that are 100% most certainly guilty...beyond reasonable doubt is always a little dodgy!

Same as Rob here, not confident enough to do my own even on a 4 pot car...could do a v6 Omega though...

And I know the same guy in Lincoln and as Rob says he is highly recommended for Vaux cars

Pretty sure there is some compression now where there wasn't before, most of the engine's power is back most of the time...occasionally (especially when accelerating the weight in 1st gear) on the short journey last night lost compression then felt the jolt of power as it cut back in...

Feeling pretty confident its just a matter of giving the engine a seriously good clean out...cleaner in the plug wells and letting it soak in, cleaner in the fuel and fresh oil and filter now that the cleaner in the oil will have had a good clean out Any other suggestions??

Thanks guys...I can use my "My Naff Code Reader" thingy to help with the compression test I think...so is a compression tester ok regardless of make?

Are all compression testers pretty much the same or are some especially good (within say a £30 budget)

Is the am-tec one ok??

Also they say Checks Valves and Ring Wear, excessive carbon and late timing for petrol engines...what results show what??

And...how do you use one?? Remove the rubber from cyl 1 of the coil pack and put the compression tester in its place?

Compression test done before, no compression...not paying for another lol

Plug was new looking before after quite a while of running...since cleansing the EML has gone off, the engine is misfiring less and running better and the plugs now black...in fact it was more carbonated than the others...
