thanks for that mate, very useful. I think I'll be changing our plugs though, not paying them to do it lol
 
plugs nice and easy on 197 - just need a 3/8 drive socket set as the plug holes on the head are very narrow

replacement plugs come pre-gapped

use sparkplugs r us for them cheapest around - i found out to late when i ordered mine from the dealers.....
 
Right this will sound total Noobish and sorry for jacking the thread Adrian.

But see the second service.. Foxspeed you say you get your air filter changed, is that the same as the ITG pannel filter i just added to my car?

I know there not the same names, but curious and very stupid when it comes to engines.

yes fella - air filter / itg panel filter the same "filter" except the itg is for life ie you clean it re-oil it and use it again the standard one is a paper filter once dirty its in the bin :thumbup1:

i have checked the 197 service plan booklet a couple of times now and it says 4yrs/48k brake fluid change

but of course if someone can prove otherwise i will stand corrected :biggrin:
