Once all the components (inlet & exhaust & FI & belts) are removed it may be quite a easy process, but I only have a cheap socket set (good ones stolen when shed was broken into) which I can almost guarantee is not up to the job. Anyway I bought 4 new plugs, fitted them and started the car, no undue sounds (so my wife says ) coming from the engine, going to take a ride in it tomorrow, stick close to home incase it goes Pop.....then daughter can tow me home Thanks Rich. but I would not bother you.

I have neither the facilities or the tools to undertake such work.....

My car is fitted with a Renault Clio engine, but my Dacia is a old model (2013)

I think the Duster is a diesel.....

The place they took it to (Niel Harrod Auto Electrician) is the one of the best in town, the manageress of the care home cannot not be arsed anymore, just wants it out of the way, it's taking up parking space, so she told my daughter that they are going to phone scrap yards that collect and get shut of it........

It seems to be a thing with Dacia,s Where my daughter works they have a Duster (67 reg),a while ago it refused to start, took it to local auto electrician he had no joy with it..they fitted a new UCH module.... programmed a new key to the new ECU, still won't start, so they are going to scrap it!.....

I have no other option other than to drive it as it is, if it does detonate, iam buggered. Upside is if it does, i will have to use the scoot for errands and shopping, on my own of course, wife can't get on it.

That's what I am doing,, fingers drive it gently for a while and wait for the

Tried, but the spark plug hole is very small, fished about with a long magnetic screwdriver, nothing came out.

More than likely still in there, doubt it's gone out of the exhaust port.

Fuck! Fuck! And Fuck some more, car started tinkling on way to Asda, then list power and stalled, started again. Just removed the plugs and one electrode is missing from a plug....Fuck! Fuck! And Fuck some more

45 ......... neck?......chest?......waist?

Yep as you get older the years pass by quicker & quicker.....I often sit and wonder where the last 40 odd years went....one day your 30, then suddenly your in your 60,s........if you have plans for the near future, do them as soon as possible, because if you dont it will suddenly become too late to, which I have found out!.. That was today's sermon.

Yeh..isolating the battery will help.. ☺

While the weather was cold (December, January and February) the battery was kept inside, put it on the scoot a while ago, but hardly used the scoot since, it would help if there was power into the shed.

You get the blame for everything it seems.

Yeh battery is flat......I still blame the keyless ignition for it..

Says we may! get 14c here today!.

Joined the In Crowd.......mmmm cannot remember doing that

Na...it looks like hairy caterpillar has crawled on my top lip....

It's the same date as Nigel Mansell,s birthday but he is a year older than me.

Not telling.

Months till mine, it is never much of a celebration on the day, i get 3 cards It was much better when I was a kid as I mostly had my birthday away on holiday as it is in peak weeks holiday time.

Well, it's dry not windy and a bit warmer my back is much better, so i may venture outside today, see if the scoots battery is flat, or not, not going a ride though

Have a great day @XTreme hope your not out of breath blowing out all them candles.
