£45 approx IIRC? Might be cheaper from a Partco type place - more like £35-40.
I'll second 0.7mm.
On some hesitating modded cars, usually it is about 0.85 and tightening up to 0.7mm makes a nice difference.

Trying to get a few bits together before my next service.
So then, what would be the spark plug of choice for a scoob?
Platinum, Titanium etc etc etc........
Cheers

general consesus seems to be to stick with the standard platinum NGK's on a standard turbo, minor mods go one range colder i think (6-7)

NGK PFR 7B is what I use and am happy
They seem to be holding together OK when I last looked

John, Secret Agent Man, how much did you pay for your 7B's?
believe these are iridium tipped rather than platinum?
thanks

david, places like partco etc can all get them. halfords sell 6B's, so can probably get 7b's too.
