the number one spark plug on a 1.9 liter Ford......sweet Jesus. I cannot get the wire on the plug - angled boot, useless corner of the casting in the way and just enough access for an anemic smurf's hand. "FORDS SUCK!" - yeah, I get all that but when you can't reach number one plug (under the "." of the "1.9" raised numbers) when it sits at the front of the engine in broad daylight, plain sight without being a yoga master it's fucking irritating!

at least the battery is accessible from the hood and you don't have to pull a tire to get at it

 

but that engine bay is exactly why i hate working on newer cars, they shove so much in there that you can't hardly do anything. my chevy s10 ain't too bad, golf is a little worse, biggest car being the 300m has the least amount of space, wtf?

No one works on their cars any more. ok ok no new car owners want to, or cares about working on their cars, anymore or ever. By design new cars can only be topped up with fluids. By the time it's needing work they trade it in so only those looser average types that can only afford a 4 year old POS own it now. To save money they try to service the unserviceable car themselves..... and here we are.

 

OK the cars. First, people want power assist everything. They want air con. Large engines. They also want small cars. Builders have to design in aerodynamic shape..... and here we are.
