Yeah I''ll do it while Merlin is setting up in the morning. Can't have him do everything.

He's bringing the pill right?

I've just had a full service so oil should be good, is it worth getting new spark plugs before the tune?

Depends on your spark plugs! How many K's has your car done?

I pulled mine and changed them at 90,0000km. They may have been changed previously, but they were still perfect.

If you do get another set of spark plugs get NGK ones and get a heat range colder than stock.

oh 120,000km on the odo?

did you get yours serviced at the dealer? New plugs are due at 105,000 or something like that.

The plugs I'm using are NGK ILKR8E6 I got them from Mitsubishi but Repco should have them.

I'm not one to use non OEM consumable parts so I wouldn't know about other plugs.

Check your log book, but if your car runs fine atm it won't be a major issue

thats a good idea, my car died once about half a second after a sst flash was completed, could have been a disaster. i knew the battery was weak though.

Ah yes I heard it fucks your computer if your battery runs out while a tune is happening?
