Was it the earth strap in the engine bay ?

I think the attessa system has more earths under the back of the car in the boot?

Glad it's sorted mate go hard !!

yeah. The earth that holds the car battery as well as an other earthing wire.

It goes alright lol

Been experiencing voltage drop at idle after driving the car and think it could be the battery

Over the years I have been going through wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooo many batteries

And after some research I am thinking my alternator is one its way out.

So I procured this

IMG_0051_zps39778878.jpg

RH9 Alternator 130amps - hope this fixes the voltage drop issue (fyi it drops from 13.5 to 12.8 or lower at idle)

Came with this sticker - so cool - not that am worthy of putting that sticker on lol

Next issue.

Miss firing whoes.

I had my plugs fouled at the drag day so I thought I would replace them.

I took the coil packs out and they looked like this

they needed some serious TLC

While I was at it thought it would be good to source a new coil pack harness as the other one looked rather brittle and stiff

IMG_0023_zpsef5ebbf7.jpg

also got some brand new NGK platinum spark plugs BCPR7ES and I gapped them to 0.7mm

baf8d6e2-79ef-444c-a3b4-11b28ebcd86d_zps

I cleaned up them coil packs and also go hold of some dielectric compound and applied it to the coil packs where required and also around the spark plugs

IMG_0054_zps157f87f8.jpg

Plugs, coil packs and new coil pack harness all reinstalled

Went for a drive and car felt more responsive but more importantly goodbye missfire, happy Frenchmen I was

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
