Looks good. We have to keep the 16 valve turbos on the road.

I did the lettering on the spark plugs cover on mine with a spray can of Ford blue engine enamel and am happy with the result.

A bit harsh to fail it on that surely, an advisory would have been sufficient frown

At least it's passed now though cool
