I went out this morning to work on the Estate...  Repaired the passenger checkstrap & greased all the others up.  Fixed the passenger door handle as it was jammed too.
Then went the scrapyard, got new O/S rear light, loads of other interior bits, and a pocket full of fuses & screws :)

Car actually looks semi-respectable inside now!

Only complaint, the wind blew the door shut while I was working on the checkstrap and squished my arm...  Bloody aches now!

I took the day off and spent 2 hours changing the plugs on my mig... including breaking three of the old ones in the process of removal. The cyl 5 plug (drivers side rear) took me half an hour and a lot of sweat to get out.

So, 6 shiny new plugs, start the engine, take the car for a run... it's the dispack that is causing the misfire, not the plugs.  >:(

Still, worth the effort to make sure I have 6 new plugs in now.  :y

I nearly filled up with fuel at Tescos. Does that count?

As it happens, I didn't get any fuel, and laid down 2000 miles of rubber in 20yrds as i left the forecourt
