I second that. Was told that was a spark plug and ignition coil, and it was a worn chain pad. 4K repair.

Nope, the moral of the story is - no matter how well preserved the car is (I had every little paperwork the car had, almost since new, every invoice, every mot), no matter how many miles it has (mine had 25K miles) you should **always** make a **good** PPI. Even if you think there's absolutely nothing wrong with the car.
