Re: V6 issue with revs jumping up and down / stalling
I remember the 'Norton' (load of rubbish) ignition amplifier for motor bikes .. I had a Ford V6 where the revs 'pulsed' ie; raised / lowered on tick over but the engine ran OK on higher revs .. this phenomenon was also coupled to 'iiffy' gear changes ... like the box occasionally 'hanging' onto gear...

Re: 2.0 or 2.5 Petrol

I took my Toyota Emina in today for her yearly gas service / filter change / lap top tune up .. cost £40 .. and with gas @ 66p a litre I don't grumble..

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
Ask a simple question and ... ..!!
It's not only switches but some specific labels are in English like tyre pressures ... also on my Estima some of the heater / dash panels 'instructions' are in English ... and I doubt if the moulding are used on any other vehicle ..

Re: Continental Headlights again, sorry
A point that as always bemused me is that some motors like the Mazda Bongo ... Toyota Estima, are made solely for the Japanese market and not for export ... So why are some of the labelling on Stickers ... controls etc; in English ..?? It seems a a bit like marking Reliant Robin switches in Japanese...

The power of advertising .!! There have been many 'unique' sparkies over the years .. who can remember 'Spitfire' (not Splitfire) plugs..??

Re: 9,000 miles
I've seen similar 'blurbs' before even for Polish spark plugs that are advertised as being the bees knees .. NGK (who sparkies I would rather have then most) do 'dedicated' LPG plugs .. This is a good LPG Forum to ask or pick up tips 'n info .. http://www.lpgforum.co.uk/index.php?sid=8c819f1ff3116c0...
