And then of course there was a chappie with a very tidy Volvo 340 (1.4) who had it tuned by me once a year. He seemed to have an obsession with the tappets and always asked if they were ok.....which they always were. One day he was a couple hundred miles away in Kent, and the said vehicle developed a severe misfire. He was convinced it was the tappets. His vehicle was transported back home where-upon he rebuilt the cylinder head and replaced the tappets etc. On start up vehicle was the same and he called me. £3.50 worth of condenser and my time fixed it.
