what a stupid place to put them. like it makes any difference to how they start.
Well few things to check before lifting cover, battery for one, starter, I would get vcds to check the state of the plugs aswell before swapping any out, not saying its not these, but I dont often hear many go wrong tbh, but more often batteries & starters.Quote:

Suprising on when you put a new battery on a car how much quick it turns... swopped mine and it starts on half a turn of the key litterly have to hold the key on start for a second and its puring away. Let us know how you get on!Quote:
