stuboy Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Collegue asked me too change her spark plugs on her skoda octavia 2014 as her dad couldn't get coil on plugs off , so she asked me and bloody hell they stuck like shit too a blanket, so tried 2nd plug and coil and it move more , so between me and an assistant we tried gently pulling as I didn't want to break it, but the rubber separated ( story of many unhappy mens lives..lol ) from the coil top, and the rest would not release from inside the tube, asked when last changed and never in her ownership, its going for a cambelt soon so she gonna get them to look at it, told her she will need it to be replaced and most likely all 4.

grogee Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 The Saaaaaab passed its MoT. Well, actually it didn't, because the headlamps were boss-eyed and pointing at the sky. But the nice man at the garage adjusted them for £10 which I'm calling a win, based on the amount of time I'd be faffing about with measuring tape and chalk and then have to take it back for a re-test. My new job is a 60 mile round trip but (so far) 2 days a week. I've been using the Puma for fuel economy reasons but the Saab is a much better cruiser and there's a short run on the M40. Think I'll treat myself to first-class next week. Split_Pin, GMcD, Wibble and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverFolkUs Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 A new vehicle has joined the FolkUs family Shock horror - it's French No collekshun fred as it was local and the seller very kindly dropped it off Mother_FolkUs was making noises about wanting "a big MPV but not a stupid 4x4" So when you get offered a Citroen Xsara Picasso that's done about 30k miles (yes thirty!) for £notmuch you buy it don't you! My goodness it's lovely. I've hated French cars but I like this one very much It'll go to Mother_FolkUs, if she doesn't want/like it I'll be shedding a Focus or two and keeping it myself TDLR; I'm a French car convert No pics m8 - its a cosmetically challenged Citroen Xsara Picasso.

The best way I can describe it is that its like its been used as a portable Household Waste Recycling Centre. Every corner is scraped and there's multiple dents, but I'll sort the cosmetics out as its a really nice car underneath the cosmetics. The interior smells like a combination of a farmer's armpit (damp livestock) and a mouldy smelling "Yankee" air freshener. But I'll sort that too. I'll get a picture of it when it looks better. But for now, have this generic one from the internet. It looks just like it (same spec + colour) - just more damaged and dirty!
