Ignore me sorted

 

 

And now I've got paint stripper in my eye, not having a good day

 

Paint gone wonky
Mis-threaded something
Using drainpipe paint on your car!!

Which one

ps John I might need your help tmrw or Friday, I need to fit my new NGKPFR7B plugs & will need the thingie to set the gaps & appropriate socket to get the blemin things out!!!!! Plus I dont want to wonky up the plug threads in the engine

 

Cross-threaded something Off to Hughberry in the morning as I don't have a big enough tap (or the patience after the day I've had)

And the paint on my new rear arms has gone wrong

Friday afternoon won't be a problem, but I'm off to Rugby Friday morning to pick up my new seats, but yes I have a thingie (feeler gauge) do you want a metric or an imperial thingie. And I also have a special spark plug thingie (spark plug socket - 14mm and 16mm iirc but I'm not sure which one you'll need)

 

Plug change = b4stard of a job

Have fun Ricky

I can probably help you out with bigger taps if you need Jon.

 

Cheers Jim, but they are really awkward ones and doing them whilst on my back will probably end up in tears. Paul in Hughberry said he'll get the car on the ramps tomorrow and clean up the threads.

Are you not going to come to Ricky's on Friday, the more people stood around umming and arring the better, bring your camera

 

What time? Some of us have to work you know......

 

I don't know what Ricky's plans are, but if we all turn up as the light is fading and say something like 'access is a lot easier if you remove the washer bottle and airbox' and then run like hell without spilling our beer

 

I didnt realize they were a pain in the *** to get to John do you reckon we can do it without too much effort, if not I can quickly nip down to my indy mechanic in wembley tmrw?

ps also I think I have sorted some proper hydraulic ramps we can use right next to our houses John. The car wash next to Alpine Restaurant used to be a Ferrari/Classic car Indy garage & the current car wash occupants said they dont mind me using their ramps when theyr not busy, for a very small fee I imagine

 

You can all take the pi$$.......wait till I build a 500bhp monster big build by myself in my garage!!!!...using my Tesco socket & argos spanner set

 

Whip out the washer bottle and airbox and access is quite easy then. You might have to come around to mine though as I'm on kids duty, and I'll need to pick her indoors up from work about 2ish. I can call you when I get back from Rugby if that works

 

Ok mate as long as its not too much bother. If time constraints then let me know Il nip down to Wembley on Friday morning. Just hoping plugs turn up tmrw from Camskill. Wana get them in before DSA Saturday

 

It's not a long job, like I say, just need to sort the access to the plugs. If I give you a bell when after I pick Tina up, we should have plenty of time. The drive next to my house is not being used so I'll relegate Tina's car to the road

 

Ok
ps you comming Dsa sat? Il be going about 8am & back by approx 11 or 12 ish if you wana jump in

 

aha, a time finally becomes apparent! Would love to pop down in the morning if I can get my lazy backside out of bed.

 

15min job, just remove the Airfilter box and screen washer bottle, you will need the correct spark plug socket though and a 3/8 drive rachet...Make sure you dont over tighten the plugs and screw the new plugs in by hand 1st, I have always used the NGK factory preset gap in all of my cars.

 

Would love to but Mrs Mc is away Friday night and won't back until whenever she is fit to drive on Saturday. The kids wouldn't forgive me if they had to spend another day in a garage on their Easter Hols

 

ive got the best tools for a plug change

 

Is that for changing a butt plug Mags

 

lol

ps Rich @ Powerstaion said 0.7mm gaps for mine

 

Plugs done, that car pulls like a train now Ricky. I'd be happy with that without the BHP figure you so hanker after.

Now to sort my wifes Scenic out after it seems to have thrown the cambelt

 

cambelt on a scenic ahhh . id rather stick pins in my eyes and set fire to my *******

 

It was only done 10 months ago so I'm hoping I can claim for it under warranty, failed tensioner or something. The cams are still turning, albeit a bit to freely, bit it's just not firing and seems that the timing is out. Suspect it's jumped a tooth
