Spark plugs done

Well the weather is good and I have been meaning to do them for a while so I bit the bullet and changed all the plugs. It has taken about two hours mind and reddened forearms but nonetheless done! All without removing plenum! It is just a ase of selecting the right length extensions for the socket and wrench.

Yeah I did mine without removing the plenum, just used one of them angled socket thingy's

Managed without angled sockets, just set it all up right with a suitable length extension and hosepipe.

Have you noticed if it goes/starts better with the new plugs.

These the plugs that last for + 20,000 miles??? Not like my MGB ones, 12,000 or 1 year, but that was a 5 min job.

The MGF ones are supposed to last for thousands, mainly because they are such a B to change.

TBH I think it started a little better. No idea how long they last though...
