Spark plugs and coils? Shame it's not a saab as the coil pack was good...hope yours costs less than £250 though. Later 9-3s and the NG9-5 had individual coils for each cylinder. Another GM destruction of a good idea from Saab. Yes, sorry, coils. I have to put my hand up and say that the inner workings of my car are an utter mystery to me. A bit like the inner workings of my computer. That's why we have IT peeps and mechanics. It cost £184 which could have been a lot worse. The 'Saving for a 'new' car' pot hasn't taken quite as much of a hit as we'd thought, although it does look like it's going to need to fund a new fridge/freezer as the current one is warmer inside than the rest of the flat! |

Aye, that could have been worse. Hope nothing else crops up to eat into that pot. Our new car fund went on one for SWMBO as I can manage without...30,000 steps yesterday! More tempted to upgrade the ebike motor than another car at the moment as the bike is way more fun, at least when it isn't raining. One car I do like the idea of is one of these.... classiccars.brightwells.com/viewdetails.php?id=6923...slightly impractical but would be way cooler than something resembling a prison van for collecting dogs. I'd get a suitable hat for the VIPs too....Very Important Pooches  |

(We have an ongoing 'dispute' with a neighbour who shares the parking area with us because they are incapable of reversing their stupid Fiat out and need space to do a thirty three point turn to get out or they're stuck. I say, if you can't reverse out of the drive you shouldn't be driving at all, particularly when your car is not much bigger than a couple of wheelie bins. They say I need to park farther back to give them space but if I do that, the bloke with the long Jaguar can't get in. Adding that beast to the mix would do little to improve neighbourly relations!) |

They are not allowed to distract the driver. I used restraints for the ones that couldn't be trusted to stay seated. |

Parking in my street wouldn't be a problem but everywhere else would. Can see it getting beached on some giant speed bumps too. |

I’m a little confused about how the thread got from Headaches to stretched limos. I know cars are a headache but I’m wondering how.
The reason why I’m posting is I’m sitting here typing this and I’ve got a headache.

I think it was something to do with 'new car savings' being raided for a new fridge which tipped the direction of the thread irrevocably. |

I thought I'd check in to see how the headaches were going, and the first post I saw was about coils for each cylinder.
Thought it was a bit drastic for head pain, but then again, cluster headaches...  |

Coils, not the first thing that springs to mind when discussing head pain
