Motorcraft 071's are the best compared to any plug under Ł60 pound.
Good enough for 600+ bhp cossie's, and last over 12k miles. and good idle.
All for Ł12 for set of 4, from your ford dealer.
I believe they are std fiesta turbo plug's, or something along those lines.

So we're looking at:
*Motorcraft 071: Ł2.87 per plug all inclusive, code = F1120834
*Motorcraft AGPS901C or
*NGK RST plugs
For the under Ł15 group.
Is it worth going for more expensive Champion plugs?
Mine's getting serviced this Friday and looking to change my plugs, so watching this on people's thoughts. Can't remember off the top of my head what's fitted at the moment tho.
Garage have the NGK plugs in stock for around a tenner.
*Edited to add: also using standard oil filter and black RST Ford plug leads

It's worth getting a group a coil as well mate i put off getting one because i didn't think it would make much difference but ive just bought one and it's made ALOT of difference to the drive and idel of the car I also invested in some magnecor leads and managed to get some AGPR901C plugs and the car drives completly different now

Yeah thats the only downfall you have to cut the original plugs off but if you ever want to put them back on you can always solder them back on on thats what i shall do

How does it function differently from the original, and why haven't more people done this mod if it gives such a better idle? How does it drive different?

I thought that..but that was what the previous owner was recommended to use by someone.
Personally, I'll be using Performance Vauxhall semi-synth 10W 40.
Used this for a few years now in various cars. Both garages my cars go to use this oil: one vaux orientated, one ford orientated. They've looked through the properties of the oil and is similar spec to more expensive oils but at a cheaper price.

As earlier Lee: previous owner used this after being advised by someone (not sure who). I agree it is a bit thick, and will be getting 10W 40 semi-synth.

What are 901 plug's?
Never heard them be rated for big power like 071's.
i've used ngk 9's, champion 57's and 071's, in both my cars,
and the 071's and champions are the better for blow out on high boost,
and the 071's are best for idle, and the 071's are alot cheaper than Champions,
also peep's say alot of issue's have been seen on champions due to the quaility controll on some batch's.

Try NGK BCR8ES plugs, used and recommended by jamsport on most mildly uprated RST, most motor factors stock em for a couple of quid each. Used them on my last s2, 1.9cvh 15psi, 240 bhp and changed em every 6 months, or after about 10 trackdays, and never had any probs.

i had a couple of std ngk's start to melt before,
with no det, but i had set the fueling slightly leaner than most would, but far from running lean.
Lucky i noticed them before the tip fell off.
that was about 190 bhp.

Think that's what i'll be fitting today: either of these.
