Based on the part codes, they're both the same man, just different sellers

@Peachy, just give me your budget & I'll send you a link to the best ones for the money. Then buy them, & I'll help you fit them. Job done.

And take those other ones back for a refund. :roll:

Let me know tonight so you can order them tomorrow, & have them in time for the weekend when I'm coming round anyway. ;)

Ok, you can buy me some too then! :lol:

Seriously though, I'll let you know shortly. Looks like you'll be getting Platinum's. Unless you want to try the Nology Silver's like me? :think:

Nology silvers would be good, but as they are not tried or tested yet as you have said before they my not be good for a 2.3?

Are Platinums better than iridiums?

We'll get you the Platinum's mate. Nobody seems to go with Iridiums for these engines tbh, so it's not worth getting in to I'd say.

My question to everybody else would be..

Are the plugs for 2.0, 2.2, & 2.3 the same? Cos this ad says they are. Not too sure though. :think:

http://bit.ly/1dthEj7

If so, I can buy some '2.2' ones a bit cheaper. It's just that these are the only ones on eBay advertised specifically for the 2.3.

A little help please. @tramroadmotors, you've probably fitted one or two of these before?

Knowledge me up..
