Can anyone recommend some good spark plugs to use, for a standard cooper. Also how easy are they to replace, tools etc, thanks.:thumbs up:

Dead esay to change. Takes about 5 mins for the lot. I bought the 4 electrode fancy jobs for my Cooper. About £30 for the set. You just need a longish reach spark plug tool. The spark plugs only need changed at an inspection II but you can doo them more often if you think it needs them.

if you want top of the range plugs, go for Denso's Iridium Power.

Denso's Iridium is a special Iridium Alloy which is manufactured specifically for Denso, the centre electrode is TINY (was the thinnest on the market, think it still is) and the ground electrode is nicely tapered with a U groove to trap the gasses. Plugs will last ages and because there is less surface area the theory behind it is you will get more complete & easier combustion.

I believe all other Iridium plugs use a standard off the shelf Iridium.

Hope this helps.
