Adventures in a nugget. 2006 Hyundai Getz Diary “New Plugs”

[calebaaront]

Some of you may have seen I purchased the little red Getz off @EightMegs for a very good price. It got me 50 miles home back to Portsmouth without issue and on £10 worth of petrol. The plan with it is to get the little issues sorted out and let the Mrs learn to drive in it.

Firstly I gave the outside a wash, cleans up nice for a sub £150 car.

Next weekend it’ll be getting a service and potentially a new rocker cover gasket as it’s dropping a fair bit of oil.

An absolute bargain that, look forward to seeing how you get on with it.

The wheels look sporty! It’s missing a purple boot spoiler

Sounds perfect for you, right now. Hope she takes to it.

Good luck with it mate. It's a bit of fun and get your money back for scrap if it doesn't play ball. Can't lose

After a trip to work and back, I’m pretty sure it’s got a slight misfire so I’m going to order new set of leads/plugs along with a new air filter and throttle position sensor as there is a slight “lag” when getting on the throttle.

Had a few mins to myself before work so I thought I’d change the plugs and the leads. Now I’ve changed them it runs a whole lot better, still could do with a new throttle position sensor. I’ve never used Denso plugs before so wonder how long they’ll last

I have a s/h coil pack + leads.... And a s/h PAS pump

Sourced for MrGetz = twin cam 😮
