Title: spark plug price
Post by dave82506 on Jul 30^th, 2007, 3:43pm

Hi all. My new spark plugs arrived today for my cosworth. Had to do a lot of shopping around as the pricing varied wildly. I paid £32 including postage for a set of NGK's in the end, on good old Ebay.
So, have I done well?? or been well done?? :-/

About average mate.....they are usually around the £7 each mark from FMD or motor factors :)

Edit...sorry, yes you've done well.....I was forgetting that the cossie has 6 plugs ::)

Bought a set of Iridium plugs for the Jag on the advice of a chap who races his down the quarter mile ::). About £8 each online. Advantages are supposed to be they take less energy to spark so put less strain on the coil packs, apparently they also work better accross a wider heat range.

I know the Cossie uses platinum but it can't be any more fussy than the AJ16 lump, believe me...and that's more than happy on the iridiums.
