Ok we've done a heap of work to the EA (as you probably know from following various posts I have made recently).
Well the other week, the day AFTER getting a reco 3spd in her (yes, yes, I know! :( ) she started to cough and splutter a bit. When you first started up it would be shocking, then as it warmed up it was better. Talked to a few people and decided it was electrical because it did it on both fuels. Replaced the leads, it didn't do anything. Bought some plugs and then before we had a chance to put them in, the car almost shat itself so we drove it straight to the mechanic (who, thankfully, managed to look at it that very arvo). He found two sparkies had bit the bullet and they had to stick a "thread chaser" (I am assuming this is a helicoil?) to refit them all. Then she ran great. But now she's a bit gutless. Kinda feels like the brakes are slightly on (although they are not). Any ideas? Do we have to retune her to run to the new plugs? Also! Advice needed on that freakin rear mirror on the windscreen - wtf do you use to keep it on? It's the third time it has fallen off, despite the last time being done by a professional. Whenever it gets hot in the sun, the glue melts.
