Like I said earlier mate, I fitted a set in my saph and it didn't even make it out of my mates driveway!!!

I know there was a dodgy batch but whether there are still
some knocking about, who knows?

if your cars overfuelling at idle it will kill em staright away.

Nope, could be anything to be honest if they have been knocked about. It's worth checking and I gapped all 4 before putting them in and the gap was too big on all 4 so I'd guess at .8mm
