Catastrophe!

Ever have a Monday that goes on all week?
All the planets are lined up wrong?
Black cloud following overhead?
Yup, it was one of those days....

Spark plugs

With the high mileage and all, the van does go through a bit of oil. I tend to use the thickest I can
find like 20w50, although it does tend to make winter start ups a little tough. In the coldest months of winter i switch to 10w40 , then back to the thick molasses. One problem with burning a bit of oil is spark plug fouling. I am now replacing plugs every 12 months or so, about 10,000 kms. Bit of a hassle but I just throw in some cheap Champions and off we go! These suckers do not look happy.
