Count me in :)

Well its getting all new plugs in a few weeks ive just got all my service stuff off G172 so it'll be getting a new set :)

Alright snake182 cheers :)

:/ right. That could be the problem then i had been driving around 10-15 minutes but if that's the case that's probably the problem :/ i hope i haven't shagged anything. It does use a bit of oil too. Is that common for engines like these? Its on 95K too

The inside of my tailpipes are black constantly archtronics

Yeah the colour coded cap. I had a little pull earlier but it felt really well attached so o thought id ask on here before pulling like he-man and smashing something haha i know some are screwed in place with small self tappers on some cars
