Out of interest, how long DO top quality plugs last these days before they need replacing on a modern 4T engine?

Schedule for this is every 12,000 - these have just been swapped out at 11,500

Err...are they all old ones? (I'm guessing not ).

Hah, no, it's a twin, I'd already put the LH one in.

Oh. One thing I have done today is made my annual donation to Wikipedia/Wikimedia. It still amazes me that it's free, I use it almost daily and it's doing what it can to remain free of political interference. Not always getting it right but I appreciate it.

It's a bit like here.

It's months since I've looked something up there and it was probably only some race results to prove a point on a thread here.

I use it quite a lot at work, everyone I know does. With so many different disciplines you often hear some technical term or jargon you don't know. Wiki is great for stuff like that, dry technical subjects are free of meddling I assume. Either that or all our electric motors are now Biden supporters.

Worth supporting with a few £ then. At least that's how I feel as a regular user.

I pretty much do use it daily as I'm curious about stuff. It's a great resource.

I've paid em £2.99/month for gawd knows how long. Years.

Edit: A load of the stuff on tyre dynamics is my words too. I did the diagram at the top of this article on my iBook in about 2004.

They don't know how to spell tyre!

My job survived the latest round of redundancies, didn't seem appropriate to put it on the makes you happy thread but I am glad.

I survived seven rounds of reundancies over 21 years until the company got taken over and we all went. In the early years I thought "thank fuck, I've got a mortgage to pay", when it finally came I thought "thank fuck, freedom at last".

My 10R developed a low running roughness due to plugs at around 34k+

I may have changed them earlier if access hadn't been such a massive pain in the balls.

I hear 12k mentioned,but I reckon a set of iridium will do twice that at least.

The Iridium's are supposed to last at least double normal plugs.

I had a MrBishi car with a transverse mounted V6. The intake got in the way of the rear bank, so the manufacturer specified iridium's for the rear bank and normal for the front back and the front to be changed twice as often as the rears.

[Mr. Dazzle]

ISTR the flat engine Ferraris require an engine drop to get at the plugs

Something else will probably die catastrophically before the plug need doing anyway.

Fitted a new consumer unit and emulsioned half the dog!

Been for a ride in the sunshine, not far but very therapeutic.

I am itching to paint my concrete staircase but the cats and dogs are what is stopping me. Wife and me are fine as i was thinking just paint one side and when dry paint the other. Cant see the animals sticking to one side though.

Sliced the end of a finger with a REALLY FUCKING SHARP serrated knife. Did the usual thing of stuffing finger into opposite armpit, then wrapped it in a blue shop towel. It's been about 20 minutes & I still haven't looked at it...
