    Nice sooty plugs



    Replaced now, but these are what plugs look like due to over fuelling ;)

    Gave increasingly bad misfires and economy...

    Well, tomorrow I will know if the misfire I have had is cured. There appears to be oil leaking into the wells a fair bit so may need a new rubber Megane seal on camcover. Could have been oil seeping in and causing the misfire but the plugs are covered in carbon deposit pretty bad.

    As for burning £50's Jamie, no biggie ;)

    Bad intermittent misfire still there, from cold only until up to temp, but still sounds warbly like a Subaru since putting on Supersprint manifold as well.

    FFS, just what I dont want before a trackday.

    Well, it's a shit thing to have go wrong tbh especially with so little time and a trackday in under a week.

    Worst case its the bottom end ****ed or HG failure or something.

    Could be a load of things...that's the bummer, I dont have time to check.

    Was fine on a test drive just now but it did do it a bit at first.
