Mr Rizla Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Just serviced my new ST just so i had a baseline to work from and i couldn't believe the state the plugs were in, they only had about 1mm showing above the ceramic, anyone got an idea an approximate mileage since last changed.. just a bit curious Edited October 23, 2011 by Mr Rizla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planc Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 They should have STD copper core and on that era 18,000 miles should be the normal servicablity of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTsillycar Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 How's the car running now? tick overand fuel consumption as what you discribe sounds like you had to much fuel igniting, resulting in burnt plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rizla Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) running ok, only took round block as err no brakes but she did feel a bit sharper, had put down plug wear as simply not changed in a long time, the oil was very thin and airfilter very dirty, will see how she feels once i get brakes repaired Edited October 23, 2011 by Mr Rizla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
