Condition is good, check them regularly and use the correct NGK copper plug although it did have bosche platinums in when I bought it, and didn't run quite right then either. Might be a little oil burning as I've noticed a slight amount more going through the breather since I bought it as the last owner had been using semi synth and I'm using 5w40 synth changed every 3k miles (usually use either Halfords, or Chevron as they tend to be cheapest bearing mind I stick to the mineral oil change period) No noticable smoke, and it only gives off vapour when cold (overnight condensation etc) fluid levels stay good. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
