Which type of spark plug to go for?
Which type of spark plug to go for?
Going to service the car in the coming future, Just wandered which type to go for.
I have seen the bosch Super4 plugs, NGK Laser Iridium, and normal plugs.
Is it worth using the standard or will it only run on properly on the iridiums?
Going to order some new brake pads as mine are a little thin, Going for the Mintex pads.
mate theres a thread with a link in about spark plugs created by me i use the iridium NGK but get them from the link as there the best priced and mintex are very good i use them on my IS got them from ebay alot cheaper then main dealer

you need to look through the forum as there is a section on mantainance
or use the search option
Have a look at these mate, CLICK ME? There the SK20R11 which are the original iridium plugs that Lexus use, good price and they last for around 60,000 miles before needing to change them again!
The Denso IK20's have a life span of around 30,000 miles and usually cost more? Stay away from the super 4's as they break down very quickly and need replacing! think i did about 2000 miles with them in mine and soon got them out again?
Can't go wrong with the Mintex pads, always been very good, but if you fancy a better set go for the Black Diamond, there great, i've had them on most of my cars, very little dust and they bite really well! but they are a lot more to buy than the Mintex
Thanks!
Whilst I had a spare minute at work i changed the cabin filter (£6 from the motor factors next door) and whilst i was at it was going to change the engine filter. Undid the housing and out popped a K&N panel filter, Bit on money saved there! Gave it a clean and put it back in and all is good!
Can get the ferodo pads for about £30 from the same place (Trade discount, Just for working next door to the place!)
