'Also it’s a private plate spells touran'
Even Squinty Mcsquinton who's just been dazzled by a Vauxhall Vectra with HiD lights down a very dark lane at midnight can't make that say Touran, FFS.

grogee got a reaction from N Dentressangle in Harrison's Garage - Mini City, back on the road!
I've done similar:
1) Passed a kidney stone
2) Crawled around in the footwell area to fix HVAC. There comes a point where it becomes easier to remove the front seat, put down a foam camping mattress and lie on the floor of the car.
Smarch is lousy. It's lovely and sunny here at the moment with shit rain forecast for the next few days. My shed project is half built and in danger of blowing away.

Less than a year has passed but I had to do this job again; on the other Focus this time. It's still just as hateful, even with the practise. One improvement I made was to use even more padding for my back as a lay upside-down across the sill with my head in the footwell and my hands behind the dash for an hour doing a job akin to pulling a kidney stone through a urethra.
Hot and Cold can be requested and provided now. Lousy Smarch weather.
I also took the opportunity to strip out the digital radio as the signal was just as pants as the main radio.

Me: spends many on welding and painting a valueless car.
Also me: uses it everyday through winter.

The Volvo was being a right ungrateful bastard after lavishing out on the bodywork - and was not running very well at all.
Diagnosis (murder)
Always misfiring when hot
Misfire is on cylinder 4 (when pulling HT leads)
Misfire stays with cylinder 4 when swapping leads over
Identified oily around the base distributor cap (cylinder 4 at the bottom)
The cap is full of crap
Dammit!
To be honest, I’m not even annoyed it was breaking down now, not even the memory of it - I’m just amazed it ran as well as it did, let alone at all. The state of that oil. Oh dear.
Anyway, this is AutoShite, so you’ll be pleased to know I scooped out the crud, washed it in WD40 and didn’t address why it got like this. It’s running bob-on now though.
I think it’s probably some sort of failed oil seal from the camshaft to rotor arm spindle.

My Dad's Motor factor had 3-4 of them in ex-BT grey with the 1.8D. He used to take me and my brother to various clubs etc early 90's, one of us rattling around in the boot. Safe.
