    This problem came to a head when in 1894, The Times newspaper predicted… “In 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure.”

    No problem, I would use the manure to fertilize my crop fields (I would need several horses).

    As for the sound it is a little bit louder than the original, because the car now has a stainless steel exhaust system. For whatever reason the noise then gets a little bit less muffeled. The stainless steel is harder and does likely more reflect than consume the noise.

    Okay what you need to do is get that spark plug out and set the spark plug gap to 0.7-0.8mm. Never more than 0.8. Check the ceramic part of the plug if its cracked a little somewhere. If its fine put it back. Pull that spark plug wire. Measure the resistance of the wire with a multimeter. It should be no more than 5KOhm. If its more than that replace the wire. Also youd probably need to pull the valve cover and adjust all valve clearances, especially at that one problematic cylinder. Small or no valve clearances would cause that and other cylinders to missfire aswell.

    Still my old Audi A4, but I want a Mercedes CLA so bad, but it's hard to find a good bargain right now, second hand car prices have skyrocketed...
