Ride into work this morning was fun. She only slowed down slightly on one big hill. Was able to maintain 55 consistently. Feels like she is loosening the reins a bit

If it's a choice I can get you a spare kidney from work. Just let me know - don't forget to let me know your blood group too!

Aww c'mon Grouch, we need a masterclass in brake pad replacement and how it will eventually turn into a complete engine rebuild..... Sorry mate, just joshin

NOT kidding about the Instant Gasket? But it's such horrid, nasty, evil stuff that previous owners never know how to use... I actually make a tidy side-living from helping a mechanic friend, doing jobs that almost always involve removing shedloads of IG before we can fix it! Ooh, I might be interested - Can you get steak, too, as I fancy me a pie...!

That is a great video of the plug arcing. If you have a little spare length on your ht lead unscrew the plug cap. Trim 10mm of the ht lead. Re screw in the plug cap and try it again. You would be better to change the cap and remove, clean and re fit the spark plug too. Not only will it run rough but it will allow Un burnt petrol into that cylinder which will wash the bore and could ruin the compression in it.

Stupid me, I was convinced that is something more complicated, but indeed, the problem is a faulty bulb. Sorry to bother you, guys!
