Decided after some funny running that I'd check the plugs over, the engine was warm and whilst they all required the scratchette to get them undone, they were not tight in the slightest, still, the engine was hot and they were done cold.
I see that 30 Nm is the recommended torque but in the absence of a torque wench I'll have to use my calibrated finger in the air torque hand.
I also found something that amused and then annoyed me... a washer has fallen into no. 5 and I can't get it out, have taken the time out to write the thread and check torque before I lost my rag. It's stuck between the hex and head and whilst I can move it round the hole, I can't get my usually trusty magnet in there, neither can I manage a pincer movement on it whilst holding a torch in my teeth
Witness marks on the boot indicate it's been there for a while and I can't see that done any harm but then again, its' not been much help either.
Back to try and try again, my middle name is Robert so I guess there's a spider based lesson here
