gonna change the spark plugs on my 1991 2ltr 164 before its NCT, its got Golden Lodge plugs in her and i've been quoted €30 each for new ones!!!!!!! Someone please tell me this isn't right! if this is the price, can i use other types??
Yes thats not right £30 for 8 sounds more like it. You want 25HLD infact just looked on web you can get 8 for £21.15 , £2.25p each plus vat.
Altenative, and better in some folks eyes are NGK BCP6ET can get for about £3-£4 each so don't panic.:cheese:
the proper platinum plugs are very expensive but are good for 60,000 miles at a push, no problems. Other than that you can use ordinary champion or NGK plugs for a few quid each and change them every 8-10k miles
Platinum tipped plugs are about £11 each and you need 8 =£88, NGK or champion about £3 each and will last for a good 12000 miles without problem, unless your gonna keep the car for about 60000 miles dont bother with platinum
Thanks guys, i've went for the more resonable option and fitted the NGK plugs, and hey it didn't blow up so that must be good!! Now booked in for its NCT on 24th May, fingers crossed!
