318 IS Plugs and leads.

[Bjorn]

Hello,

Finally got my car back after a blown bottom end (thanks for the new one jimbob if your reading this).

Everything now working but slightly lumpy, ive just remortgated for the cost of new HT heads (and plugs) but on trying to remove the old ones dont know if they just pull off the distributorless ignition module (or even if thats what its called). I obviously dont want to yank them off for fear of damage to this.

Any one know how? And do you really need to tourqe up the plugs or just use common sense when doing them up?

Also I have put my existing clutch back in the car but it now feels alot more worn, any ideas? (Would the biting point alter if I topped up clutch fluid?).

Many thanks Bjorn.

Thanks Bjorn

the leads just pull off... dont pull from the actual lead though, pull from the 'boot' part of it

as for the clutch.... it should be the same as before really, may just feel different if uve been drivinga different car recently.. may aswell bleed and change the fluid though anyway

Tip from the top, twist the plug lead first which usually breaks any contact stickyness they have and then twist side to side as you take them off, it's always helped me.

Plugs should be torqued up but it aint alot.. Commonsense rules the day in the situation
