Hi to all on the Tbar and a very Merry Christmas.
After getting a distress call from my niece ( no really she is my niece ) about her non starting Suzuki, I assembled a few tools and travelled across to hers . Engine turning but not a sign of it firing . Ok , when did it last have a service I asks ......Oh err , well err , a while ago was the reply . 60 k on the speedo and my thoughts turn to whether or not it's had any plugs in its life . Removed plugs and tried to see if there was a good spark . The gap on all was HUGE and the spark was feeble . So off to Euro parts to buy some more . Now at this point I have to say that I have been retired from the motor trade for a few years now but even with discount to me how on earth have 4 spark plugs come to the eye watering price of £ 64 ! ? ! ? ! ? Without the discount . . . . £93
At this point I might add that I know I'm tight cos I'm from Yorkshire but for goodness sake £64 !
The car started first turn thankfully but WOW .
John .
