Do you use an octane boost? I think I have read somewhere the they cause this affect on the plugs??? I will probably be wrong, I usually am!

There's a bit of a difference between the first and the second...! Is yours covered in "fluffy" crap?

Sounds alright then. My PFR6Bs were like that as well. Dunno how long they'd been in. Car was 3 years old when I bought it. It's a good bit of useful information, and gives an indication of how well the engine's running...
