hi guys/girls
stuck here thinking what is my best option,,,,at the moment I only see one light at the end of the tunnel,,,none the other end
anyway,,get my oil changed regulary in my van(10-15k kilometres) due to her having the timing chain.its something you feel good about doing and I can get the oil,filter and change done for 57 euro.you would spend more on a night out...I have being using different mechanics and spread it around abit..the one lately thou,i just don't know if I will go back as I seem to walk out with a job to be done after a job being done,,got the oil changed months ago and he hinted at me that the great little engine was misfiring on a plug or 2,,some one like me who takes care of my motors automatically said to myself I will buy four in the next service
anyway that day came around,,got my oil changed and the plugs where next,,,,the first two came out and I tought I was on a roll,,little did I know I was wrong,,the next 2 would not.after cracking them lets say,,,the were very soft in screwing out,,getting stiff then like getting soft,,he put a grips on them and they would not budge.,,i think they might have being wrong threaded in by the last so called mechanice and sit was not getting the thread to come out,,i was gutted.i would of settled for 3 plugs
anyway they were left in and she stared ok but the plug light on the dash now comes on after every start up for 30 seconds and then goes off
I just don't know what to do now,,,im dreading on thinking what she will be like to start in the thick of the winter
I work away for 3 weeks and she does be lying up till I get home for my week off
any help or options would be an early xmas present
she's a brilliant little van,,the best ive ever had,,,an 08 fiat doblo cargo with a sweet 1.3mjtd engine and clocking up 240,000 kms and going strong
