Go get the engine and box out ready for yours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside is if it does, i will have to use the scoot for errands and shopping, on my own of course, wife can't get on it. I'd say it's head removal time Clive, a new head gasket will be pennies for a dacia and it'll not be difficult to get off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Once all the components (inlet & exhaust & FI & belts) are removed it may be quite a easy process, but I only have a cheap socket set (good ones stolen when shed was broken into) which I can almost guarantee is not up to the job. Anyway I bought 4 new plugs, fitted them and started the car, no undue sounds (so my wife says ) coming from the engine, going to take a ride in it tomorrow, stick close to home incase it goes Pop.....then daughter can tow me home Thanks Rich. but I would not bother you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 It was nice to get out on the scoot to go and buy 4 new spark plugs from Euro Car parts, felt a bit over dressed, came the long (10 mile) way home. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus Pass The car is showing its age now, clutch is still slipping a bit, original exhaust still fitted (can't last much longer surely) air con packed up ages ago, needs welding on one sill, let's just admit it's ready for the scrappers.. we cant afford any big bills, so we ard sort of expecting to be car less within the next year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
