I moved my business to ///M-L from there too, can't think of anything eloquent to say about Chandlers atm so 'bell-ends' will suffice for now...

I'll tell U tomorrow mate Cecil's still @ Elms Cambridge... although if you read the previous posts in this thread, others have positive results with these + NGK recommend these as an upgrade over the OEM NGK R Platinum
Here's a comprehensive explanation from NGK: http://www.ngk-sparkplugs.jp/english...ium/index.html

They certainly made a MASSIVE difference to my car but that was likely down to one or more duff original plugs or coils. Maybe you won't notice anything, maybe that occasional stumble at idle or temperamental running when in the warm up cycle will be reduced or sorted. It's just nice to know that such a highly tuned /strung engine has the best plugs out there fitted. For under £40 too

I'm not connected to the seller in any way either
