> Righto, let's talk spark plugs. These little beauties are essential for getting your engine's air-fuel mix to ignite properly. When they're a bit past it, you'll feel it – misfires, less grunt, and that fuel bill creeping up. Especially for your daily runabouts like a Mitsubishi Lancer or the family SUV, the Outlander, keeping these sorted is a no-brainer.

Will it pass WOF?
While worn spark plugs themselves won't directly fail a WOF, the symptoms they cause (like excessive emissions, misfires, or engine warning lights) can lead to a WOF failure. Ensuring your spark plugs are in good condition contributes to overall engine health and WOF compliance.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 4/10
