Default Saff cosie 4x4 spark plugs

Hi people.I just wanna know which plugs you use.

Ive got NGK iruduim,s in mine at the mo and im thinking about changing them next year.The NGK,s have been spot on and have never given me any misfires.Ive looked on ebay and noticed the same plugs are a fortune.

I think when i bought mine years ago they were only 24 quid.I dont know if i should ge another set or get some differnet plugs.

A few lad i know said to use the ford spark plugs(like the ones in the link)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-FORD-0...item3f029c64e7

What plugs do you rekonmend?

The 071 is a good tough plug, but you will notice smoother better running with iridiums like IK, I use IK27, I find the IK31 a bit cold and too prone to fouling, but I do a lot of city centre dawdling hours at a time under about 2K rpm.
Depends whether you want to spend more for a better running engine, that is smoother everywhere.

to be fair though, coming back from central day this year, i seen a side to him id never seen before, he gave it greif all the way home, i couldnt believe it, i thought his wife had made him some kind promise, so he wanted to get back asap. but that said, will pedley had been out for a run in it the day before, with all his tech gear hooked up to the ecu, exhaust, etc, and gave it a clean bill of health, so i think that had more to do with the greif it it got

Ive got NGK,s iridiums in mine for over 4 years now and they have been spot on.I might go to my local motor factors and see how much they will be.
