Did a self-service yesterday, changed the oil, oilfilter, air filter & sparkplugs (which really needed doing)

My god, what a difference its made, the car now drives like a dream. It feels like i've gained 10% hp, i know mines only a 1.2 but its made a big difference. I'm starting to like my car even moreso than i did before, infact i've decided i'm going to wait a year or 2 before i upgrade to a fr/cupra.

I did test drive after changing each component and the oil seems to have made the biggest difference. I'm using lucas 5w-30 semi-sythentic, the car seems to love it
