weeeell thats a bit of a thing you see, they' re meant to be 9' s but they were 8' s :? ngk' s. still fine for 1.4 bar though. Allen suggested i use cheap plugs (of the right heat range) and change em more often

at a guess id say it was normal wear and tear. obviously the tip will be slowly eroded with use but id have thought they would have lasted a little longer :roll:

better add there was still plenty of electrode left and if id closed the gap a little they' d have been fine for a while yet.

i' ll keep a close eye on the s45' s
