Default Rover 216 Plug gap

Hi,

Anyone know the plug gap for a Rover 216 1997? Or just a link to a site that might contain all plug gap sizes?

I have searched the internet and cant find it!!

Ta,
Dave

Rave is the CD with all the rover technical and workshop procedures in it. It's what rover dealers use to work on the cars.

PM me your address and I'll pop one in the post
