NGK CR8E, that's what I've got.   Not sure the irridium are worth the extra money.

CR8EIX Iridium plugs are £5.51 each delivered on Amazon.
Bargain.

It would appear that the Amazon offer has been well and truly used up, it was there about a week ago!


Next best is here if you're interested:

Why not, it's 28% off? Looks like someone missed decimal point, do you think they sell many?

I tried iridium plugs for a while but didn't notice any difference apart from it taking slightly longer to start! Back to standard plugs and change them about every 25k miles not because anything wrong with them but it makes sure they've not welded themselves into the cylinder head

there should be no difference between the standard and iridium spark plugs... if the standard ones are in good shape. the difference will be noticeable with time, the iridium ones last longer, doesn't lose bits in the process and the spark is more consistent


and they aren't sooo expensive...

These are about £1 dearer than standard ones, snap them up while you can!
