I am after a set of either the reccomended NGK Laser Platinum's (PZFR6F-11) or the upgrade Iridium's (IZFR6F11). Anyone know of the cheapest place to get them?

Opie oils seem pretty good for the Platinum - http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pv-79902-ngk- ... -plug.aspx

Its worth checking ebay using the plug number some times I've found them cheaper than by the car etc

Cheapest you'll find...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161369302651? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Or if you want a 5 heat rating then the same price from the same place.

Awesome, exactly what I was after. £16 per Iridium plug seemed a bit high to me :?

Actually what is the difference between the 6441 (ebay link above) and the 4095 that NGK say is for the Prelude, the spark gap?

Apparently laser iridium whatever that is...

NGK 4095 IZFR6F-11 Laser Iridium Plug

NGK 6441 ZFR6FIX-11 IX Iridium Plug

Better performance and fuel efficiency from a regular iridium plug, but much better lifespan from a laser iridium.

No question which to go with really.

I like how in that first link I gave it says "DISCOUNT IS GIVEN ON LARGER ORDER QUANTITIES, PLEASE USE LINKS BELOW IF YOU REQUIRE MORE SPARK PLUGS". So you click the link for 4 and are asked to pay 3p extra :lol:

Yeah I noticed that too :lol:

The NGK blurb about the Iridium Vs Laser Iridium http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/pdf/DYK_La ... m%20IX.pdf

So is the Iridium Laser or the Iridium IX the best one to go for?

Edit - the Iridium IX :roll:
