spark plugs on fiesta snapped

[Chris Wilson]

If it were mine I'd have a look in the cylinders with a good endoscope. Most garages have cheap horrible things, you need a medical quality one. Some race engine bulders will spend the money on good ones, they start at about 1500 second hand... If you were nearer I'd have a look for you. Removing the broken bit and dressing the damage with a fine file should sort it. This assumes that the cause of the noise is what I guessed. Sounds very likely though.

Great, cheers for the info Chris, I guess if I had give it to a garage anyway the head would have come off to remove the snapped plugs so I guess I was buggered either way whatever I chose to do. Thanks for the advice though, im taking it, if it is as you have predicted, the head is coming off regardless if I am to get to the piston tops, not sure I can afford an endoscope for a one off job, shame your not up the road
