You sure about that? If its got twin electrode plugs in it, vx dealer wont bother changing em unless doing a 40k service or 80k service in the case of quad electrode plugs.

well its either the 1.4 16V or 1.6 16V.....and both are very similar....

If she puts her foot to the floor (and I mean to the floor) and cranks it over a few times....then turns it off and re-trys as normal almost straight away....does it start then....
