Description

Spark Plug Replacement: Get Your Engine Humming (Thanks, NGK!)
> Spark plugs: tiny but mighty! They light the fire in your petrol engine. Over time, they get gunked up with carbon, suffer from heat stress, and generally wear out. This leads to misfires and a rough ride in your Ford Escort or Alfa Romeo 159 JTS. Gutted, eh?

Is Your Engine Playing Up?
• Misfires (especially when you put your foot down)
• Idling like a tractor
• Fuel bills making you weep
• Hard to start on a cold morning
• That pesky check engine light is glaring at you.

Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy spark plugs mean high emissions, and that's a WOF fail. Keep 'em sweet to keep the inspector happy.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, extension, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool (feeler gauge).
