Spark plugs replaced and sharing
Hi all,
I just want to share with you my latest work on my car: replacing the spark plugs on my own 05 x350 4.2 LWB. Background: I purchased my car very very cheaply around 1 and a half month ago when it has a collapsed air suspension. I purchased it, fixed the air suspension myself and it is a runner again.
Recently I purchased a new set of spark plugs and decided to replace the old ones last night. I started the job at around 10:30pm last night, and I didn't expect it took me 2.5 hours just to swap the spark plugs. There isn't too much room for the spark plugs tools to be inserted or pulled away from the spark plug well which took me so much time just to extract the tools as well as torqueing the spark plugs.
After 2.5 hours of work, I tested my car and it ran much smoother (PCV was replaced 2 days ago but I didn't test the car afterwards). Cold idling is way smoother with more torque. Just to share these information so hopefully all Jag owners remember to perform maintenance on the great Jags.
