Spark Plug Refresh for Your Jag or Daimler — NGK Inside!
> Spark plugs – those little blighters that create the spark to get your petrol engine roaring. Over time, they get worn down, leading to misfires and a drop in performance. This is especially noticeable in the refined engines of your Jaguar or Daimler. Let's get those replaced, aye?
Signs It's Time for New Sparkies
• Engine's misfiring or idling rough as guts
• Fuel economy's gone down the gurgler
• Engine power's lacking, acceleration's sluggish
• She's struggling to start
• That pesky Check Engine Light's on
Will it pass WOF?
Worn spark plugs themselves won't cause a WOF failure, but if they're causing misfires, that can lead to excessive emissions or engine damage, potentially failing you. Best to keep those spark plugs in tip-top shape.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Can be a bit fiddly, especially reaching some plugs and getting the torque right)
Estimated Time: 1-3 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket set, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool (if needed), ratchet, extensions, dielectric grease.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, a bit of Kiwi know-how goes a long way. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away any carbon buildup around the spark plug holes – keeps things clean as a whistle. A dab of anti-seize on the threads helps next time you need to get them out. And don't forget your Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean and some safety glasses to keep the grit out of your eyes. Safety first, mate!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
