Spark plugs

[slacko]

Still got the original factory spark plugs in my car & as they still start the car first time without fail, I've not bothered to change them til now. So today I took one out to see which they were, but found no name just NLP 100290 printed on them, so what make are they?? as I'd like to order some new ones.

That's the MGR part number, I'm not sure who the supplier was.

Looked at Rimmers but they're way OTT at £8 odd each + postage.

I agree, ebay has NGK plugs for much more reasonable prices.

6 plugs at £8 each works out over 10 years at £0.0131506849315068 per day.

if you don't want to pay for platinum plugs, just chuck in some 99p ngk plugs and change them every 10k or 20k instead!

Bought some off Matty, now how do you get to the back 3 Hmmmm!!!:laugh:

[petet16]

Back 3 aren't bad if you have the right selection of extensions and a uj, when I did mine I used the plug socket with a short 3" or 4" extension, a uj, then a 12" extension and ratchet handle, when you fit the new ones, push some suitably sized flexible plastic or rubber tube over the end of the plug so you can guide it down the plug tunnel, and get the thread started.

I did them with a universal joint the same as Pete.

When I started them I used the spark plug socket and just the short extension by hand.

Cheers mate.
The back 3 are a bit tricky to get to - but with a good wobble bar certainly do-able. :)

Cheers Pete for the tips, still not looking forward to doing it LOL
