    OK, so is it the sweat band? Huh, I've tried every sweat band under the sun, literally, and none of them work for more than 5 minutes. I wear bandanas, folded into a triangle, as they then absorb the sweat from the baldest part of my head, they last a while but I have to change them regularly...

    Last and only time I had a leak from a sump, it was my D1 300tdi. the sump just went porous, I have to think the inside of it was going rusty. I cannot remember if I or the mech disposed of it, I got a mech to swop it out, guess it must have been.

    You could also try weakening the mixture a tad. Did you pull the plugs after a decent hot run? I seem to remember before, you were happy with the colour of them. You could always do a compression test, if that cylinder is down on pressure then things need investigating unless you CBA and just...

    Maybe go to ornery porcelain or china ones then. We take glasses of water to bed with us, just use a drink mat on top of the bedside cabinet to not damage the surface. But if we ever have drinks down by the pool we have a massive set of all sorts of types of plastic glasses so peeps can have...

    Since he last posted about sooty plugs I too have been wondering, despite his happiness with the Rolling road session, if it isn't running a bit rich.

    That's a good idea. It is holding up at the mo but obvs not a decent solution. I'll have a bash at seeing where I could stick some araldite or other two part epoxy. :)
