spark plugs

[janolsson]

Any recommendations for spark plugs?

I know they need to be platinum and gapped to 1.3 - 1.4mm but what brand do you prefer?

Agree mate- get the real deal and do it once in five years, not every year- lets face it....they are bad enough to do eh?

Thanks guys for your input
I'll check out the price for the motorcraft (Uk guys suppliers other than the dealers for these??)

Incidentally pulled my old ones out to check the condition and found them to be gapped at 1.7mm so must have been in for som time!!

Not "exact" necessarily. Just produced by same company. In the OEM marketplace for any product, specs can be slightly different between OEM and Retail lines.

Thanks dude, but there is a place in Leics that are doing them @£20 for the set and i can pick them up so no postage.

Tho i'm leaning towards Motorcraft if they not too dear from the dealer as my engine was running good on them before even with an oversized gap!!!
