Cars"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Would unscrewing a spark plug slightly cause it to misfire but remain undetected?I'm guessing that it'd drive like shite with no power, yes?
Its cheap too because even if it meant he had to replace 4 sparkplugs at a fiver each its only €20...

I know thatIf the vehicle had no spark plugs it would simply keep trying to turnover, so maybe with 3 out of 4, it turns over and occasionaly starts.

Firing on 3 may be funny.It would certainly loose power and if the engine management doesn't complain then it could be a bugger to find.
If you do something like loosen a spark plug lead at both ends then it could be put down to vibrations and the garage would likely charge him for lots of things even if they did find it straight away.
