Sparks !

Thought I'd take the Alpine out for a run to Felixstowe this afternoon.

Sounded rough when I started it and did not settle down - pop, bang and misfire. Sounded like it was only on three cylinders (or even two) so after 100 yds I came home deflated and put it away.

So it was the Golf that got the run.

Then investigated the Alpine. I thought I'd disconnect a lead to see if it made any difference. Not to one of the plugs - no change in tempo but a large spark jumping from the end of the lead to the metal retaining clip on the cap.

Same to a lesser extent on another plug. There was also oil around those two. So a new set of leads and a cap on the way.

ION: I've upgraded the iPhone so the pictures may be different from now on
