That will be jealousy  Did you notice if they revved the nuts off your car on the emission test as they did on mine but i was told they are not supposed to do that  one bloke told me thet breaked up his car while doing this

Alot of the RP cars ended in "MUD"  I seem to remember  , anyway she looks great. Lovely job you have done there

No, they let it run on idle, I thought they had to do it at idle and higher rev's???
Anyway, it passed and he did give some positive comments too

Hi Paulcdx,

So, all my problems are your fault!!!! Grrr!!!!! Lol
Yes, it is ex-plod and you can still see POLICE on the doors!!! (NEEDS PAINTING)

[HockeyDave55]

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! 
I ordered the wrong coil!!!!!
And there is no way I'm putting the old one back after that battle!!!! I am not happy with myself... 
Correct part ordered now though.... Hopefully it will be quick to get here!?!?!?
Oval plug, square plug??? Why change it?
Blimey! The old one is split wide open!!!! No wonder it was missing!!!

[HockeyDave55]

OMG!!!!!?

[omega3000]

OMG!!!!!?

Thats just like the one i removed on mine a month back , check for leaks in the scuttle as the join piece tends to drip drip onto the coil pack ...used black mastic to seal mine up 


Snap 

[HockeyDave55]

Was yours the cause of a bad miss-fire?
When I took the scuttle off, I noticed it was soaking wet! I did replace it last moth because the old one was cracked..... And soaking wet underneath!!!!
