new spark-plug
Hi guys,i'd just replaced the spark-plugs on my 08 3.0si at 68,500 miles. Pretty easy to do, and boys does it run smooth now,that n52' purr like a kitten. Just want to share thanks.

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
If I'm reading this thread right what your after is peace of mind.
That being the case just have a nice glass of wine and you'll get
the same euphoria with a lot less work, less money, and less
time spent.....
