iridium are longer life plugs, there sparks not as good as oe, there better for newer engines that are designed with this in mind (mazda 3 springs to mind, 60 quid for a set!)

get a set of nology silvers, recommended by r tech so good enough for me

??? how you get that?

i was gutted i had to pay that much, and in the end it turned out it wasnt the plugs causing the miss, the egr gasket had perished and made it sound like it was running on 3 cylinders, my stupid fault for leaving old gasket on when i had engine out
