The old girl is doing us proud, except for a seized plug.
At her 120K service today, our dealership found the problem and was reluctant to attempt removal for fear of stripping out the thread.
So any of you lot have experience in treatments/fixes for such a problem? Help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Squizz.

Well...I have the same car....
But I never had a seized Spark-Plug before.
How did it get seized..I mean, I am assuming you can't just get the engine nice and warm so it is all expanded and get plenty of nice thin penetrating oil into the thread and work it out slowly (if you see what I mean?)
spot the guy who doesn't know what he is on about

Doubtful, or the guys would have tried it I'm sure(ish).
Not sure which plug it is either. Must be something to do with an alloy head reacting with a normal metal due to electrolysis. I know this used to occur with TR7 alloy heads getting stuck to the iron block.
Cheers though.
