So, replaced the knackered water pump today, left the engine run for a few mins whilst topping up the fluids as it bled itself. All good. 3 miles down the road (after filling up fuel) the engine light comes on. Nothing unusal felt, heard or seen. Temps good etc, oil level fine etc. Is...

I see a few posts asking how to do this job and the std answer is always to pay someone else to change them as its very hard etc etc Well its not hard just a tad fiddly:D and that only applies to the rear plug each side. The trick to remember is to use a 17mm spanner as a lever to get the...
