Thats very cheap indeed. One thing to check is that they are not for the earlier 'BOA' engine as fitted to the Granada Scorpio Cosworth's. I have done that before & the E-Bay seller would not except returns . The cheapest i have paid is £46 for a set of NGK's

Found the receipt for the ones I bought in my mailbox. These are compatible by the charts and were indeed cheap: They were champion and the correct spec (triple checked). Item Name: 6 Platinum Spark Plugs RC8PYP PFR6B FR7DPP+ PK20PRP8 Quantity: 1 Sale price: GBP 29.99 Subtotal: GBP 29.99 Royal Mail 1st Class Standard: GBP 2.49 for first item, GBP 1.00 for each additional item. Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded: GBP 3.49 for first item, GBP 1.00 for each additional item. Seller information: hfr77 Recommend contacting her, it was a very fiendly seller who set up a custom auction for a 6pcs set.

Has anyone tried NGK Iridium plugs BKR6EIX-11 for the 24v? They seem to be about the same price as Platinum PFR6B-11 Opinions please Tenfut

Yes, Jonnycab and I have tried the Iridium ones. Jonnycab put me onto them in the first place. I have them in all my Cossies now and I believe Jonnycab has them still in his 2.3. I find them superior to any others I have fittted.
