I have just replaced the spark plugs on mine with a lot of help from Markjays guide , are there any easy jpbs on these cars  ;D
The old plugs were Champion 3 electrode type fitted by Halfords at some time all of the center electrodes were just about flush with the ceramic
I now have genuine 4 electrode ones fitted ,should I expect slightly better MPG with new plugs ?
If the old ones weren't noticibly holding back, doubt mpg will change much...

Nope. A few cosmetic jobs to do (when the weathers dry) and then it will be up for sale.Its a very nice car,but I have no use for an estate. ;)

I had a serious coolant loss today. Managed to grope the place where the fluid escaped the inside end of the throttle cooler pipe that was split lengthwise . Wipers and scuttle were taken off I was so lucky that the questioned pipe was enough long to cut off a short piece. Sorted!  :y
