  1. It is instances like this where a hard wired dash cam is extremely useful.
  2. Do not waste your time or money on compression tests or timing chain chain replacement. The best preventative measures in this instance is to use a good quality engine oil and service regularly, together with very regular dip stick checks on the engine oil level. At 135k miles there is bound to be wear and tear present, so chains and low compression issues should only be dealt with as and when they happen, which might be never. However, if the engine eventually does go pop, then just drop in a known pre-owned engine from a known and reputable seller.
  3. You won't get 20k out of copper, but should be good for up to 10 if you are lucky.
  4. Is there any advantage in your experience of a particular metal that helps avoid pre ignition? Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk A metal that does not reach high temperature quickly would always be advantages, however that is not within my level of expertise. Have a read here: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=why+does+detonation+cause+a+spark+plug+to+melt
  5. Yes, absolutely correct, however it still gives a warm glow as I have had the pleasure of ownership and not lost any money.
  6. Escort Cosworth Lux 1992 models (big turbo) were 25k new. Mines going up for sale next year. One owner, 29,000 miles, no mods. proper car and excellent provenance and history. Major Auction houses tell me 50k back after commissions. However my Jaguar XJS 5.3 V12 Convertible which I bought new in in 1989 for circa 48k is only worth 12k at the moment even though it has only covered 12,000 miles. That is the problem with classic cars, you never know what they are going to be worth in 30 years time. However the aforementioned Jag should come good in any other 10 years time. Not many cars that you can make a fast buck on unless there is a 2 year+ waiting list.
  7. Every one has different views on this question. I personally prefer Iridium or Platinum Fit them and forget.
