I think NGK's are the best easily. If your near croydon then your probably using dees ford who are proper shit and havent got a clue mate. Use bristol street motors on massons hill bromley, they are very very good and very clued up 02082499292 is the directline

as said, motorcraft 071's, they're a cossie plug and will set you back around £12, you can get them on ebay cheap enough too.
great plug for the money, until you spend much more money.

motorcraft did not rename them ford change the part number from 701s which was an 505 number in the 80s and change it on the back end of the 90s to 071c to an 101 number it is not an cossie plug at all pal it is an s1 turbo plug

the 071 is a series 1 rs turbo plug. It has a fantastic heat range suited for high power turbo cars so gets used in cossies a lot. It still existed before the cossie did and was used in the series 1. The series 2 plug was a hotter plug and was the 902, the same as the ngk bpr 8 es. This is a hotter plug that can't take as much heat.

fair do's, always been told they were a cossie plug even at local dealers.
cheers for the heads up though, may make ordering new ones faster.
