that won't cause clutch slip mate, even if they're the wrong plugs altogether (in which case if would missfire like a bstard!)

its quite simple really, if you're in gear and the revs are increasing but the speedo stays still, your clutch plate is spinning rather than driving the gearbox

also did you not get your mechanic friend to test drive the car to confirm its clutch slip?

I took him for a test drive in the car and he suggested that the sparks could be the wrong ones.
