I've tried hard to get hold of a Haynes manual for a late 110 with a V8 engine but they don't seem to exist.

Changing plugs - ok -so you've got soft aluminium block and if you get those things cross threaded then what??? i'll bet the guys at the garage just chucked em in without making sure the gap was right for a 20 yr old v8

buy a rangie v8 manual for the engine and a 110 for the rest?
For the plugs try a piece of rubber tube  over the plug and start it off twisting the tube, finish it with a spanner?
As for the plugs, on lpg I was told to use the plugs without the 'r' in them as this is for resistance and is better without them
Just a couple of suggestions, sorry if i sound a bit short but i am a welder, not a writer :wink:

And we haven't even started on the plug leads yet! Believe it or not they can make a huge difference. Is it magnacore that are the real good ones but at about 80 quid a set they ought to be.

I bought some Japanese ones at about £30 a set, 8mm core )would that be right?) and very nicely made. Didn't cure my misfire though.

I don't know about anyone else but I found a vacuum gauge very useful when setting up the V8 you could get very useful information from it and they are easy to fit. I used to have great fun trying to keep the needle in the 'economical' range.

you used to be able to buy the screw-on plugs for sperk plugs, so i made my own out of 35mm2 welding cable! no resistance in thos babies, but the interference on the radio was to much :?
