    Ticking time bomb TICK TICK TICK: Spark plugs Alert Alert Alert!

    My tick comes from cracked exhaust manifold I think (not the plugs). If you are in there I would likely change the plugs, inspect the coils. Plugs - dry install (no copper etc) - 17 ft.lbs - worked a treat for me. Good luck.

    Airbox - broken nipple - needs repaired

    I think this will be my first attempt - I'm gonna get some irrigation nipples (different sizes) and see what is most suitable - will also look to see if there is a suitable bulkhead fitting - as ever, for aging vehicles & motorcycles - JB weld is king :D
