I finally got around to changing the spark plugs for the forum buy iridiums!!!
Amazingly I have all of my knuckles in tact 1-4 bank area nightmare working around the headers 5-8 bank are easy access, that's daft design. The old plugs were NGK platinum's and looked like originals with 4 & 5 appearing to be wet with irregular gapping to a couple as well.
Whilst under the bonnet I noticed that the coolant header was empty and then I spotted a puddle on the off side of the under tray As I have not started it in nearly 2 weeks it was not likely to be rain water so a quick grapple under the motor to get to it and confirmed it is slightly sticky water... Let's hope it is a hose going not the rad.
Put it all back together and it purred into life so quikly I have big hopes for the plugs. I'll give it a run tomorrow and keep an eye on the temp guage.
