Rolling road soon, due new spark plugs

[DrR]

Will it make any difference if i change the spark plugs? on 70k now with original set?

Marginal - don't expect miracles lol

 

[mattjk]

Does it missfire?

Only way to tell would be to get the old ones out!

 

[DrR]

Runs fine as far as know. Not worth bothering then? Although it's only about £40

I changed mine last week (car has done 72K) it ticks over and "seems" to run a little smoother, but my spark plugs looked nackered LOL

£40 for spark plugs!!

I payed £19 for Bosch super 4 plugs

So you didn't use the right ones then

 

[Gaz_]

I would. Mine on my cup were shot to f**k @ 50k!!

Nope haha...

TBH dont think it makes any difference at all... still spark plugs, still make sparks :rasp:

 

[Gaz_]

Tbh it does say in the service book to make sure they are the right ones......

 

[DrR]

Lots of people say only use NGK ones, don't know why but rest are ment to be naff.


Also if i do it myself do I really need a new gasket thing?

 

[Gaz_]

Nah. Never bothered on the Cup tbh. If it leaks, it'll idle all erratic then so you'll know if its fooked

Where are you having the rolling road?

I got mine done when I had the cam belt, etc done at 70K. Didn't seem to do much, but the book does say to change them every 72K...so sometimes best to do it a bit earlier.

Although it honestly shouldn't make too much difference on the RR if there's nothing wrong with them right now.

No worries Scott...just wondering where you were headed...as the next RR I might try somewhere different towards the end of the year. (Just a thought!)

Although you'd better have more HP than those Mini's!

super 4s = no no

NGK PFR6E-10 are the ones you need

 

[ditz]

i use bosch in mine also,,, when someone prooves to me why not to then i may go along with it.
all this ngk or die rubbish is nonsense.
and yeah the plugs that were in my engine origionally gave me a bad flat spot at low revs and that was less than 70k

 

[Jay Payne]

mine were mullered a 51k, got a set from my local factors that were identicle to the factory ones for around £25

 

[Gray]

oooh no iv used super Bosch super 4's my engine is gonna blow up LOL..

If anybody can prove why there so bad compared to NGK plugs i wil gladly let them buy me a set and swap them over, just to prove their point

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

for ngk plugs call and ask for mark 01604 755529, he is very well priced

because there's a technical note from renault saying to use NGK ONLY! thats why!!! also my "friend" who looks after all of the uk R-sport engines for the championships also says NGK ONLY

sounds pretty gospel to me. And for the price difference I don't know why you wouldnt go NGK tbh.
I certinally think they're lambdas are better quality
