99greenwagon. you're making me giggle.
Since you fixed your car with new plugs, you're offering this advice left right and centre (not saying it's wrong or anything, it's just that your enthusiasm is very amusing lol).

Yeah, I agrree. Spark plugs can be buggers and are one of the chreapest things to change first, when it comes to trying to troubleshoot lumpy running issues, etc.
Ha, my 7B's haven't that long been replaced (less than a year I think), and the car runs through the rev range/gears like a sewing machine....... Except for the fact that it blows its coolant out under high boost comditons.
That's why, right now, it's in at Zen's at the moment having it HGs done, etc. (mixed emotions: 
= impending bill for £££s / 
= rude health, hoonable car again!) lol
