Iridium Spark Plugs, 1.8
 

I have an occasional hiccup-type misfire when in the low rev range, accelerating from low in a gear, that type of thing.
Starting with the plugs, l think mine have done approx 10k miles. What are people's opinion on iridium-tipped plugs. Worth the extra expense?

I had a set on my 1.8NA and they were no different to standard plugs. :shrug:

They do a great job in my V6 ... although I've nothing to compare them with.

Thanks for your input. One for, one against then. Hmm.... :}

Nope, look at NGK BKR6ES gapped at .8mm for NASP and .7mm for turbo models ;)

Brian :D

Very reasonable here:-

If not allowed, please remove. Nothing to do with me by the way!
Plus a bit of info:-

Brian clinches it, stick with standard plugs.

And even more reasonable here: ;)

Even better. Ordered two sets:

Well, I've replaced NGK plugs with Iridium plugs in my Blackbird years ago, and it made not a jot of difference. Few years later I changed back and I was amazed that it .... made not a jot of difference!

But then, that's my motorbike and is a fairly bomb-proof vehicle. Don't know about the MG Rovers though, they seem to be a bit more picky. :shrug:

Let us know if you can tell the difference as mine is due a full service with spark plug replacements.

It is also doing the accelerate, hiccough, accelerate thing, and was told it is a pipe that's come off the turbo. Had that done, the engine died, had that fixed, now the judder is back! :mad: I'm hoping it is just the plugs and the wrong gap, and that the "pipe" whatever that is /does has also fallen off again. IF that's what it was.

Worth a check to see if they are fakes ?

I had problems with a motorcycle and it was down to "fake" NGK's.
