Title: 24v cossy spark plugs
Post by tonyboy on Apr 24^th, 2009, 4:03pm

Hello. Just been down to my local car shop to see how much a set of spark plugs for 24V coosy was. Got a bit of a shock :o when he told me in fact i think my heart missed a couple of beats. He told me £42 for a set.I thought {}. Now this is the first time iv,e enquired about spark plugs but i thought that seemed a bit dear. Is that expensive or should i get a service pack of ebay :-/

hi there

that price is about right. 6 x £6/7 each = £36/£42 after VAT.

hi there

much the same. the iridium ones are supposed to be better, but honda owners (my other car) don't like them much. :-/

An overall improvement in throttle response and quicker initial start.
A great find JC. ;)

talking about old fords iv'e only had 5 including this scorpio my first ford was a cortina nice for it's day then i had a granada mk2 very very comfortable. then a black mk3 hatch nice car loved it. Then another granny mk3 bought that off a mechanic who said he looked after it and serviced it regulary, but after driving it for two weeks i think he was telling me a few fibs . But the very first car i had as a hillman hunter bought off a supposed best mate. The gear box full of sawdust it used more oil than petrol about 4 litres a week smoke comming out the back a bit like del boys robin reliant and when it rained the passanger got soaked with water pouring through dashboard. ;D oh and my dad had a vauxhall cresta. :)
