Nice one John, it was 'chuffing' like a train, so that good, nothing terminal!

Hi lads,
Delighted to say that my car is back on the road!
The number 2 cylinder sparkplug thread had failed, shooting the sparkplug up and out of the engine, hence the bang, cloud of smoke, lack of power and very loud noises when it was idling with the spark plug out of the engine.
The local mechanic took a look at it while I was at work today, fitted a helicoil and she's running like a clock again! Wohoo!
Thanks again to all who helped out over the weekend,
John
