NGK PFR7B (see JGM's post above).
...Which begs the question: at what level are the even colder PFR
8 's required?!

thanks guys - how long do spark plugs last, or before they begin to drop in performance?
next silly question - how easy are they to change, as its a boxer engine the plugs arnt easily accessible ??
