im changing sparks over as soon as i get a response to this ,

lads , its a bit of a stupid one really. Can i use WD on the HT leads for a better contact or will this cause me strife? i remember someone saying dont put wd on ruber materials as it dissolves them

its a propper :stupid: one

I've done this before mate, and it's not caused me any problems....

If you have damp in there, it should get rid of it. But it may eat the rubber? Doesn't seem to have on my car :?

It's oil based products that tend to degrade leads, WD40 is synthetic so it's ok for leads, it won't improve your "contact" though.

Normally used to prevent damp affecting the spark, wet leads will earth to anything rather than the spark plug.

Ewwwww, the only good thing about her is her bloke and maybe her Coutney rip off voice.

JoeP-each to their own, I say, I happen to find her much more appealing than Ms Stevens, and Brody has better hair too :cool: LOL!

WD40 - Water Dispersant 40th Version

Thats all it is :)

Lots of people use it as a lubricant, but be aware it dries after a time. Penetrating oil is a better choice or 3 in 1 (made by the same people as WD40)

Contact cleaner is a solvent (probably toluene or acetone) that disolves crap off metals, and most other things..

Oh and RAAARRR!! for Ms Stevens, if she ever reads here and needs a place to stay in Belfast, she can come round any time!

i used to got to school with rachel, and my sister was one of the "golders green girls allong with rachel and all the other girls.

we could have gone out with each other but..and this will crack u up, she was too young ( i was 5th year and she was 3rd) and some of my mates were in her year so it was a bit "lame" if i started "bustin it" with a young one..

but the girl had the finest rack.
i remember when she started goin out with joe barron, a dude from round the mannor, that she hadnԚ´t "done" anything with anyone..but joe booped it so i guess he has something to be proud of

needless to say, my sister is jelouse to fuk with the whole thing, but i think she deserves it really, as she was well safe at school, and too pretty to just get married to some bod and have kids like us normal peeps :lol:

i aint seen her since the whole s club thing, i was in denmark so i missed all the hype, but it did freak me out when i saw her on tv for the first time :lol:

happy days eh,
