DEcided to go get them and just fitted them this aft. The ones i took out were champion and looked a bit....well burnt...not sure if this is the best way to describe them but the ceramic part was brown.....Ive never seen this happen before and ive changed many a plug, albeit all have been NGK.

Oh well time will tell if they are ok i guess.

if you have a haynes manual (for any car) the front or back has a section with used spark plug pics, gives you an idea how your car is running.



think yours sound normal tho.

Oh no i think you have gotten the wrong side of the stick so to speak. The tip was a nice brown/grey indicating a good burn and healthy engine. I was talking about the ceramic part (middle of the plug) which looked burnt.

But cheers all the same.
