Which make of spark plugs do you think are the best? I'm gonna replace mine, and a set of Unipart ones for £3 are very tempting!
or should i stick to NGK?

NGK and Bosh are good.

British Car, use british plugs for posterity, use Champion, good plugs and keeps it british what what!

Other than that, NGK BPR6ES are usually sworn by.

the R stands for resistive im let to believe giving you a weaker spark if your igition system doesnt require it!! just get the ones without the R!! BP6ES

Champion are not really the best plugs... I would use NGK or Bosch personally had problems with a few sets of champions on various cars never with NGK or Bosch. Replace them with whats in the car already is a good safe bet just check plug gap before fitting the new ones.

I thought it was to do with plug interference on the radio lol, whehn i fitted R's it was completely eliminated.. but it would help anyway if the spark was weaker even if that wasn't it's design.

I use NGK's.... actually use 7's on the 1330 as they run a bit colder which reduces plug failure on high compression engines, tried 8's but found them unreliable.

6's are perfect for std engines.

here's a quick article from our sponsors on winter running which is quite appropriate...

The R is to do with whether your running electronic ignition. BP6ES for most mini engines with points, BPR6ES for most with electronic ignition.

7s or 8s for the more modified engines out there.

I use Bosch Super 4's, cost £20 for a set, been excelent for me.

I swear by the NGK's too and if you renew them every 12,000 miles they won't let you down.

i swear by ngk's and so does the guy that builds my engine and both rolling roads by my way!! thats enough reason for me!! i found champions unreliable and bosh never seemed to give the same power as the ngk!! maybe they need the car setting up differently!!
