Just changed petrol/oil/air filters, renewed the Selenia 20K oil and put Bosch Super 4 plugs in.
The old plugs were still in ace condition but the Super 4's were recommended by Tom so I thought them worth trying. Tom never gives duff advice!
I didn't expect a great difference (if any) but was pleasantly surprised. The engine pulls so much better in 4th & 5th gears. I always used to change down to 4th when going @ 25mph, as it didn't accelerate too well in top. It does now!
Getting advice from Tom & Rab turned out much more useful than the Haynes Manual.
Getting the use of my Brothers' workshop/ramp & tools made even the petrol filter change easy-peasy.
The Super 4's are £19.95 a set from Halfords. Only £4 more than the standard NGK's.
Going to East Coast tomorrow so I'll find out if I get better MPG as well as better response/acceleration.
It would be amazing if I did, because it feels like a 1.8 instead of the 1.6 it is.
I realise none of the above is rocket science, but thought the Super 4's well worth recommending as almost anyone can change plugs and an air filter, and the benefits are well worth the effort!
