Really wish i had never bought another french bit of tat



  Not got a car
Took the gay inlet manifold off to check plugs and leads as its running on 2-3 cyliners. Everything ok till i tighten the inlet screw then snap!

The first one from the left f**king snapped, theres a little thread sticking out the bottom i might be able to get some grips on but any other ideas?

Who the f**k design something where you have to f**k about like that to check plugs!

I'd say its more a problem with heavy handedness than the car tbh, they're only little bolts into a alloy casting they don't need to be mega toit.

it wasnt mega tight, tighted by hand with the socket then one quarter turn and snap.

heavy handedness dont put the inlet over the plugs a r****d do.

They really really are stupidly loose, the manual states 10nm which is absolutely bugger all. Its so loose you'd swear it wouldn't seal, the designs debatable but with the space they've got theres no other option.
