I've cleaned plugs and closed gaps up a smidge. Far from ideal but I haven't got any spare money this week to sort it.

The plan is to get all filters,plugs and oil changed. Plugs can be had for 30 quid and I've got a new bottle of oil in the workshop to use but with 200 quid spent on tyres and takeaway being a bit dry the past few weeks it's took its toll. Costs me nearly 240 a month for tax and insurance before the car even turns a wheel. With my wife's health and hospital coming up too I've just not been able to get my shit together enough.

Well 194 and change. Chucked 4 new on because Derbyshire coppers are complete bastards and I dont want to give them any reason to cause me grief. Tyres were low on tread and a couple were starting to perish and the spare was punctured so I chucked the best one on the car in boot as a spare and had for tyres fitted on the rest.
