Tried to do the above at my mates workshop last night and his comp tester wouldn't screw in. The maybe 10mm of thread length on the comp tester wouldn't reach the start of the threads in the Zetec plug hole or so it seemed - or so he thought?
Does the Zetec have a gap between the plug gasket sealing surface and the start of the plug thread and require a special adaptor or is he a wally?
