Giving the plugs some TLC

Since i drive with the engine off so much, my plugs tend to turn into solid lumps of carbon over time:



This (when it gets bad enough) makes the engine run badly, so i made a little kit consisting of some metal brushes and a prod:



In a minute or so you can make a plug good as "new":



Happy (well running) motoring!
