thanks i want to service my car the weekend , not keen on using those strap goodies

 

[freerider]

cool, just remember that its something stupid like 10Nm tightening, so dont crank it on with a power bar or anything

 

[DonovanPorter]

I'll just check in my haynes manual tonight and then post the correct torque.

Heh, like the spark plugs on an aluminium headed engine On my torque spanner its the lowest setting... about 1/4 turn in. Don't remember the exact setting though.
