Nah its the lack of daylight in Scotland causing people wanting to hide the glow from their barnets.

From now until September we get a lot more daylight than you do! Come late September the situation is reversed again.

Serviced my friends car after a bit of hassle, might not do another Italian car unless its a Ferrari or Maserrati!

Quiz for you;

How many spark plugs does an Alfa 155 2.0L 16v T-Spark have?

Gareth

Congratulations on completing the task. About spark plubs I have not a clue, but I'm guessing you wouldn't have posed the question if the answer wasn\t "too many"

It all makes the task you undertook a more valuable gift for your friend.

Is that a clue?

Now let me introduce you to an entirely novel concept: andrew knows less than nothing about the internal combustion engine!

I say less than nothing because the little I do know would be enough to make me imagine I understood what an in line 4 cylinder engine was!

Okay, let me ask for another clue: how many plugs per cylinder?

Cheeky, me? :D

Jay,

You are right in so far it is more than 4, but less than 16.

The car is definitly a 4 cylinder!

It does have 16 valves though, I counted them!
