Never had a problem with that.

Pinto engines had the plug in the recess in head . Cross flow maybe.

A very easy engine to work on was the pinto

I know, I did the courses at Daventry.

If that's true, it's absurd.

It sounds so but there is logic in it.

Driver will always be aware if there is a tyre pressure problem with the aid of TPMS.
Correct pressures equal fuel AND emission efficient driving.

EU rules i would think.

My local skoda garage went out of business because of the VW merger and VW insisting they had to have a corporate image showroom.

So did the one I used to use. Had been a skoda dealer since the 60s Clarks in Llay

That cannot be the case, you only have to read some of the posts on here to know that dealers make a fortune on every job.

I was being a bit sarcastic, I know how small a profit margin many work on.
