Check out my tip top spark plugs

[Paul4d]

Started to give my clio abit of a service tonight, only done the cabin filter and spark plugs so far untill i get me some oils and brake fluid. Anywhoo i got my brother to change my plugs over as he was there and i was being lazy and look at the state of what came out!



I think its safe to say my clio hasnt had the best of previous owners :scared: havent driven it yet but hopefully it might be abit more nippy now.

Might want to run it for a bit and check the new ones again, always have to look stuff up like this but supposedly could indicate a few issues if the new ones foul in the same way.

Aye ill pop one out at the weekend and see how they look. Just looked at the service book and i dont think they have ever been changed.

the wear on the centre electrode says they have done well over the recommended mileage not good for performance/mpg/emissions!!!!

How old is the car and how many miles has it done Paul?

 

[Paul4d]

56 plate and just ticked over 75000. Hopefully it might get more than 25mpg now
