Beru are good as well. Which ones were you gonna get from eurocarparts?
Beru make quite a few spark plugs, so there is a range of suitable ones for the AAM.

NGK BUR5ET are pretty good plugs, so would assume they are more expensive than bottom range Beru.

i am not sure as i can't tell what type they are the three around 4 pounds of the three brands metioned. the ngk is out of stock so it is between the bosch for 3.59 or 3.96 or the beru for 4.44. the cheaper plugs like one of the three pronged beru  for 2.32 are out of stock as well . those are the candidates.dont know if tose ngk are the bur5et or not.

Ok will change plugs today. Haynes says to just remove leads by hand and other sources say you have to be super careful and use needle nose pliers.

A daunting task for me. I want to keep using the leads and havent got replacements yet

.any advice? I apologise if this is hijacking but thought it is quite relevant. :)

Grap the lead at the base on spark plug and pull.

Man up lol and you don't need to tighten the new plugs up tight. Tight yes, but not super tight.

Nothing worse than getting a broken off or rounded plug out :whistle:
At least on an 8v you stand a chance :grin:

I'm running a set from my dads old Audi 1.8t, not the right plug but he has boxes of new ones that dont fit his new soot chucker how pikey is that :grin:
