any ideas on the oil around the spark plugs.
car has not been running well recently with the engine management light coming on the other day. tried to start it up today and it would not fire up, managed to eventually but only just. just wondering if they are all interlinked.

the thing is with k&n filter is quite expensive, not to mention you have to buy the cleaning fluid and oil it every time after you clean it :/

If you're using the full cans on your filter, then you're using way too much 
The cleaning kit should last you a long time.

rocket cover gasket..another thing i will have to look into then and more importantly price up.
as for the k&n as long as the cleaning kit isn't too expensive and lasts a couple of years it should end up working out about even. will have to look into it and decide as probably only have the car another 2 years at most, probably less with all thats going wrong with it!!!!!
