Default Ordered my 071c's ... Quick Q

Will I need to gap them? Or are they as they should be out of the packaging?

£2.49 plus vat from fords, I cant believe how cheap they are.

Are they out of a large turbo escos?

Im sure I paid about a ton for my PP8's for my saff

Let Karl do it when you get it mapped - will depend on the boost

local ford dealer looked them up and said there standard s1 plugs? i only started using them cus karl told me to put them in for high boost , and then all of a sudden everyone started to use them..

there for all erst's mate,,, that includes the S1 though


dont get em confused with 901 plugs ( but if you want one then i belive that alexzvh cabrio may have a set for sale,,,,, perhaps )


they are wicked plugs mate but last about 3k miles on average,,,,, but at a quid a pop ( as thats what they cost me ) there the best choice tbh
