In isolation so bored please forgive me
Let the how to begin
Let's change the spark plugs on a Hyundai i10
Firstly let's check we have the correct plugs
Yep all good
Let's sort out the tools
16mm plug socket 3/8 ratchet 10" wobble extension
What do you mean you can't get to number one plug? Oh OK you need a 3"wobble extension as well, oh you're close to the slam panel never mind let's begin
Oh that number one plug is tight let's go back indoors through the house up half a mountain that passes as my back yard up-to the garage, dig out the extra long 3/8 ratchet.
Back down mountain through house out to the car and the 3/8 extra long ratchet is starts to flex
Not wanting to snap the plug I decide to take off the air filter housing so I can get a solid extension in, back through the house up the mountain to garage get solid extension
By this time I an knackered
Out to the car again that plug don't want to move !
Back through house up to garage again did out rattle gun impact extension and plug socket back out to car
Two minutes later the plug is out new plug gasped and in after checking the thread Hyundai use some good aluminum in their engines
One down three to go
Plug number two was loose!? check thread all good gap new plug and fit
Number one plug must have been a one off right? oh no number three was also over tightened! but not as tight as number one it just needed the extra long ratchet new plug gapped and fitted
Time for number four, well it came out easily infact it was only just about hand tight time to check those threads again once again the threads were great! So new plug gapped and fitted.
Replace the air filter housing and your done
Climb into car start engine whoo hooo missfire gone
Put all tools in big bag go back through the house up the mountain to the garage put tools away back down to the house look at clock realise changing the plugs on a Hyundai i10 takes nearly two hours
Too top it all off my road was doing a great job of imitating a Arctic wind tunnel
That was my 10 minute job yesterday
The most annoying thing is that the car belongs to Mrs Wiskers and had been serviced at a garage that I recomended
( it used to be serviced at a local garage that I used to help out at before it went out of business)
The garage that serviced the car has been my go to for tyres, exhaust, batteries and MOT'S for over 35 years, and yes they know mrs Wiskers
That took nearly as long to write as it took to change those plugs
Oh well Dai
