Sorry c1800, that was all the information I had to hand this morning. I've been out to the car, pulled a plug and it's a BP7HS. I think that means it's a bit cooler than a BP6HS, so at least I can rule-out the spark-plug being too hot.

I suppose that a cooler plug might be more prone to fouling but the tip of the one I pulled looks fine - a nice light brown colour - just what I'd expect if the mixture is about right. Fouling aside, is there any other disadvantage to running a slightly cool plug?

But in the process of checking the plug I found a more fundamental problem. With the car out of gear and the handbrake off I couldn't roll it back on a level garage floor. Flat tyre! It would have to be on the side that I can't get to easily - that can be a job for another day!
