Rather no gap at allOriginally Posted by baptie
hopefully the tip has burnt out altogether cause the alternatives are not pleasant.
The wee tip could be running up and down the bore, or has passed through with no problems or it simply melted into nothing.
Seems to be running fine just now, am waiting for new Iridium plugs to replace all 4 and then i'll put it into JC's for a compression test while it's in getting the window looked at, cause it's nae working either

Isn't having a mini gr8, the joys the joys, hope you get things sorted mate.
crikey what was the cause do you know??
Cooper Coupe...
your first plug from the left to me looks to be running hotter than the others
Cooper Coupe...
As you say hopefully it just burnt away.
That happened on my friends corsa, new plugs and the car seemed fine - lucky
Hopefully the tip burnt away before it could cause any scoring on the cylinder lining.
Why not with the spark plug out and the other leads off turn the engine over with the motor and see if any wee bit of the tip flies out????? Might work
As others have said it has prob melted away by now anyway.
Could that have been caused by the engine running too lean and as a result too hot???
