Great question

My engine is stuttering a bit, maybe a change to decent spark plugs may help sort it!

Thanks for the info Brian, can I buy them at euro-parts? Mel.

Is this the same spark plug and gap for the 1.8 non turbo??

According to Haynes, all petrol engines use the same plugs, set to the same gap. Within that constraint there are favourites all around. The 'official' gap for the MGR plugs is 1.00+/-0.05mm (37-41 thou), but many have reported that a smaller gap is better. Just to be different, I've set my new plugs to 0.9mm.
