Been a while since I’ve owned and even longer since I worked on petrol anything. Spark plug gap can anyone tell me the what happened it should have been on eurocar parts and they vary in gap size.
I know if the gaps too big spark won’t jump so what is the right size.

What oil is used as well when I get the p38 just going to change everything as going to presume never been done. I normally use 10w-40 but that’s on diesels.

I’m going to do engine oil and filter, fuel filter, pollen, air filter, spark plugs probably diff and transfer box as well.
Can you tell me what oil is in diffs and transfer box and anything I should service while I’m there.
What should I check and do as a preventive.
Sorry for all the questions just trying to get ahead of the game hoping to spend weekend on it.
 
I’ve still got a diesel as my work car but missus has a tiny city car and hates it as it’s tiny. She works 10 minutes from home now so fuel not much of a issue.

First thing you need to do is download RAVE. Links in the technical section. Everything is in the front of that: fluids and capacities, service sheets with check lists and intervals. Instructions on just about everything.

I'd put 20/50 in a petrol myself. @Henry_b has some strong views on oil for the petrol ...

Thanks I’ll get some added to my basket now
 
So no rave I don’t have laptop just a tablet and not letting me view it. Is there any other way of getting the rave

I know this is totally off track, but it is one of those things that always puzzles me, when someone works so close to home. Why drive? Unless you are rural?
Not judging, just curious. :)
