Is there even one job thats quick to do on these twatty cars!???
I tried to do the timing belt a few weeks back... I allowed 2 hours for the job ( MORE THAN ENOUGH NORMALLY! )...took me 30 minutes to get the bastard belt cover off 
Now i go to change the plugs and lo and behold, my regular run of the mill plug socket wont fit down the froggy, onion eater, wife beating hole!!
I have two options...scour the world for a super slim plug socket or take the exhaust manifold off in order to remove the obstrutive heat shield. All I want to do is chage the bloody plugs!
I need a beer. ( NOT A FRENCH ONE EITHER!) |

is it just me or do you peopem get huge plug sockets? I have never had a problem, maybe you lot have the plugs in strange places like up your bums but its a simple 2 minute job with any ready available plug socket. |

I am aware of the simplicity of the job ( at least usually).
I´ll have to take a photo and up load it.
The problem is the middle two plugs which are obstructed by some heat sheild attached to the exhaust manifold.
As far as I am aware my plug socket is a normal one which I bought back in the UK from Halfords.
Lets see. |
