Hi Clock, out of interest where in SOA did you get your car MOT'd.

I actually used Allon White this time as I had to go there.
Normally I use Roman Motors (at the end of Western Road by the Gym), they are very good.

Clock, thanks for that. I use Williams who service my car.
One of the factory tour guides mentioned he used TR Autos in Bidford, however I have not heard anyone else using them.

I tried to remove the plus previously, but even leaving WD40 in the well overnight they refused to unscrew. I don't want to apply too much force with the socket wrench in case I break the plugs.
Maybe I will leave them until I have to next visit a dealer! I wouldn't leave it Clock, they aren't going to get any better or easier to come out with time. Tim is right about wd40, I've had more luck with letting some diesel sit around them, it creeps. If you get some movement, work them back in before applying too much force to wind them out. Hope it goes ok.

Thanks Steve, I'll give it a go myself first (must keep learning new skills).
If I fail then I would welcome some help.
Regards Clock

Most, if not all modern engines running with a cat converter will show 0% c/o on the MOT emissions test. The HC reading is a good guide to engine health/set up as HC is hydrocarbons or unburnt fuel . If its running well it should burn all the fuel you pump in and hence a HC reading close to zero is very good.

My Roadster score 6ppm on HC vs the limit of 200 ppm. I guess that is good news.
