Next thing you know, you've got misfires, a gutless engine, and the fuel bill's gone through the roof! Especially in those high-performance beasts like Audi Q7s and R8s – they demand a good, strong spark.

• Brake Cleaner: Yeah, I know, bit weird, but it is great for blasting away carbon deposits around the spark plug wells. Brake Cleaner

Safety first, eh!
