Not sure this is what you mean but I am running the Tipo on Bosch Super 4's. Available from most motor factors and even Halfords *shudder*

I had bosh super4's in the old 1242 but car ran like pooh and managed to mess up one of the electrodes somehow too... would recommend Eon2's, i use eon1's in the turbo (grade colder) and cant fault them :cool: :D

Dont bother with splitfires, they are serously overpriced, had some in my 899 didnt even last 5k miles, which is to put it bluntly rubbish.(n)

I used The Bosch Super 4's, they where a really bad plug and gave me a nasty idle but Im using Champion EON 2's now and they are excellent!

Where do you buy denso plugs from, I have only ever heard good things about these on numerous car related forums, never seen them for sale.

Also do magnecors although think I ordered mine elsewhere for slightly less :eek:

I've got bosch super 4's in mine and it idle's badly too, often idling at 1500rpm for a few seconds then dropping again. Do you reckon that's the bosch's?

Options are -

1) Leave them how they are

2) Buy some Eon 2's and flog the Bosch's on ebay for a tenner (only done 3k!)

Suggestions on a postcard please...

Wouldn't hurt to try - unless you dropped something down the hole into the cylinder... :eek:

Supprising to see Bosch 4's not agreeing with your cars. They're obviously not cento friendly.
