Another_Felicia

Btw, I missed a sentence. Not that it has done me any good this time round

Could well be. I'm putting this one down to experience. If it takes as long to happen again, as between the first time I changed plugs and this week, I'll be 15 years into paying for my T.V. licence.

I like that very much. What is the other dial Warp Core dilithium flow?

I was wondering that. Removing the Ignition coil I wasn't expecting a plug to move so I just couldn't catch it in time before gravity took hold. bouncing off the engine under skirt then the floor.

Yes, I could not believe how tidy the remains of the electrodes looked. According to the Odometer - none . That's another story. About 8k miles. Bosch Super 4 FR78. it will be Champion RC89PYC next time.......

Ooo, sound like a new topic starting here . I usually start with my hand and don't use any greases. I was under the impression that using things like cooper ease could leads to over tightening as the plug can get turned further in?

2017 Staindrop:

2009 in Leek. I remembered seeing this specimen, then the former Skoda dealership wanted £1295. Using the time warp function (probably has a proper name), it was there!

Hi e-Roottoot and RicardoM, When I look at the topic Ricardo's answer to e-Rootoot appears before the question Anyhow. As to the question about the topic: Just a bit of fun. In short, If anyone spotted a Classic Skoda on Google StreetView, a snap shot could be posted. No arguments please , it was supposed to be light-hearted topic. RicardoM was only asking for clarification and e-Roottoot pointed out the topics don't need to be 'questions'. E.g "Felicia 1.3 on carburetor - owners round the world" is not a question. The photo I posted of me following the Google Street View car, last one I posted, can be found here, by the way, I wasn't going to post links a some people might not want their location to be broadcast. In this instance I'm not bothered: "www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.0814609,-2.2617752,3a,75y,147.68h,59.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQ5zYWN1EtQj3otySQOOfyg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en"

Thanks for the reply. The old one: 443 115 141 310 New: 443 115 142 350 As I've got two 'old' ones now. I had a previous one fail when the solenoid broke. So I intend to make one good one out of the two The 'new' one starts the car without much effort, so for the moment I'll keep using it

Me further up the thread: "What caused it? I guess I'll have to assume the plug was either over or under tightened, by me - user error. " I'm pointing the finger at me, myself and I I've done 3 or 4 plus changes on this car, so until the last change it was fine. Interesting you mention the previous owner, I don't think he/she touched much at all

Hi again, This is a spin off topic from : When I was showing the Mother-in-Law where I had parked, having broken down on the way visit her. I used Google Street View and to my amazement there was a Felicia parked facing the other way, even the same colour, in the same spot. I then showed my eldest daughter and for a couple of minutes she though it was a picture of our car. She said 'has Google just taken a photo' As it happened the Street View was from 8 years earlier. That then got me to thinking. Perhaps if we happen to spot a 'Classic' on Street View we could post it up. It would be fairly infrequent, as to happen to spot one would be slim. Also some of the cars might be a bit far off so would be 'low-res', (see the next couple). So to get us started, mine at home: I have found one of a car I bough a few years ago, (I knew where it was): Two Felicias in my local area, (not there now). and And doing this reminded me we had followed the Google Street View car along the A34 for a couple of miles last year, and I found it: What do you think?

How right you are. I'm glad you got the right car for yourself back then

Not a helicoil. They said a copper insert like 'Timecert'. Said would be good for the remaining life of the engine. It's certainly done the job. It is my first step experience of a popped plug.
