Which Plugs

Post by pariah »

Need to renew the plugs. Now theres so many different types out there and I ,m sure every one uses different kinds. Which is the best plug for a storm that is used all year and stays outside with cover over it during the cold periods.
Cheers

I think most people use the standard plug, which is DPR9EIX-9, or if you have a lot of cold weather starts sometimes the DPR8, which is the varadero spark plug works quite well.

Sound advice,
I'd get the DRP8 if there's going to be any winter use. It just starts soo much easier. Oh! and get the irridium ones, cost a bit more but they last/perform better.

Hi Rick, the best plug for the Varadero is the NGK/DPR8EIX-9, which are quite pricey at around £10 each- you can have a "loan" of the 2 that I've got for the winter if you like, let me know if you're interested as I don't use them unless it's exceptionally cold here.

Many Thanks for the offer Chris. I.ve found some on ebay for around 14 squid. I take it these will be ok for winter use but will I have change these over as the weather warns up next year.
