Description

Spark Plug TLC — Starring NGK
> Spark plugs are the unsung heroes of your petrol engine, sparking the party in the combustion chamber. As they get old and tired, you might notice misfires, your gas mileage dips, and your engine just doesn't feel as lively – especially if you're putting your Hilux through its paces or dealing with the constant stop-starts in your Forfour.

Warning Signs
• Engine's coughing and spluttering (misfires) or idling rough as guts
• Fuel gauge dropping faster than a lead balloon
• Engine takes a while to crank over and fire up
• Feels like you've lost some oomph when you put your foot down
• That pesky Check Engine light's glaring at you

WOF Worries?
Dodgy spark plugs themselves won't fail a WOF straight up. But the issues they cause – like spewing out too many emissions, misfires, or a generally unhappy engine – can definitely lead to a WOF fail. Keeping your spark plugs in good nick is a no-brainer for a happy engine and a clean WOF.

Skill Level: 4/10 (Depends on your engine and how easy it is to reach the plugs)
