alternator giving a little grief as not charging so caused me a bit of a splutter then died (had lights, fans etc on and didnt have the charge) left it ticking over for a while with them off and gave it Ł50 in the tank to ensure its getting fuel and feels better , need to get it to someone thought to check the map etc over but dont know who? lol

mates going to wire up the lamba and thw wideband, so it will just need enabling on the ecu which i think then gives it self adaptive mapping? (within reason)

I have never heard of any or had any myself problems with the standard Ford plugs!
I know of 3 destroyed engines due to Denso ITV 22's failing and a mate who removed a plug that he could flick the electrode off a ITV22!

just finding my feet
sounds like they beed dropped if its the porcelin,,, considering the engines never ran its not a faulty plug
dont buy any plugs from there again as it sounds like a place that picks em up and puts them back on the shelf
once dropped theres a good chance there cracked if its on the floor so time for the bin

As already suggested sounds as though the ones you've got have probably been damaged at some point - there are a number of high power FRS running the standard Ford plugs without any problems at all - i certainly wouldnt say the quality of the product itself is crap tbh
