Hi Guys, my radiator overheated and blew the head gasket, so I took it in to have the radiator replaced. My car should have been ready last week, now the mechanic is saying he's changed the spark plugs and the car's misfiring. Would there have been any need to change spark plugs? Is this normal? Want to make sure I'm not being riipped off! Many thanks

The headgasket needs replacing (if not done) if the headgasket has been done the mechanic should check he has it timed up correctly. The spark plugs may have needed to be replaced !
