Ah crap..my car is ill!

[Martin]

Just recently I've noticed that my car is'nt quite feeling as quick as it should be and my worst fears were comfirmed when I took the car out to some roads where i have taken vids before.. :( 95mph where before it hit 105mph.. My first port of call were the plugs where a noticed a bit of oil residue...(very small amount...spilt when oil change was done prob) would this cause such a big difference..and what other bits should I be checking first??

Change the plugs first and then maybe leads, cap,arm etc if needs be. It may just be that the plug is past its best and not burning properly leaving a wet residue on the plug.

Cheers Mark....what plugs are you using?

[Mark_Ritchspeed]

I think I just use the Bosch Super4's. To be honest , its flipping ages since I changed them.

They do seem to last a very long time though. I tend to use the Super 4's over NGK R's nowadays wherever possible simply because they last so much better.

If the engine ever gets modified I may go to a higher temp plug though.
