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

Re: Which Plugs
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.

Re: Which Plugs
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.

Re: Which Plugs
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.
