Are you hearing the fuel pump when you switch on the ignition?

Did you fit the correct spark plugs?

My neighbour changed his once with some from Halfords and they had listed the wrong ones for his car in their little flip chart  :rolleyes:

His car just about ran on them but he couldn't drive it...

The spark plugs are the 3 prong ones so cant adjust.
I fitted a new blue sensor for its MOT about 3 weeks ago but I did get it from GSF car parts  :rolleyes:
