    n3g, n3c, or n2g, n2c if you want to go one colder. halfords and the like tend not to stock them though.

    Re: spark plugs!

    I use NGK B8-EG. Fine for me, never had a problem with them. They are the same spec as many of the supposed 'tuners' used to supply for 'high boost applications'.

    Cheap enough...

    N3G £6.07

    N3C £1.92

    N2G £6.07

    N2C £1.92

    Why is there such a price difference?

    Re: spark plugs!

    Wont get them as cheap as £5.11 but try any factors. For my company we can charge them out at £1.50 + vat each. Did offer these plus many other service parts to the club as could build up service kits to then people to purchase but nothing came about of it

    Re: spark plugs!

    Thats the list I gave them, this was back in March this year though so things might have changed by then. But I did offer to sort this out then drop them off when we meet at national day. Obviously this too late now though. But im thinking that also how many people are going to get all these when you might not save that much or can get cheaper elsewhere.

    B8EVX spark Plugs - £3.85 each
    Distributor Cap - £6.18
    Rotor Arm - £1.54
    Air Filter - £5.48
    Oil Filter - £5.06
    Fuel Filter - £5.82
    Drive Belt - £4.17
    Timing Chain Kit - £13.91
    Exhaust rubber mounts - £0.56 each
    Valeo Clutch (should be able to get hold) - £84.11 - Will get cheaper possibly
    Front Brake Discs - £22.52 pair
    Rear Brake Discs - £38.14 pair
    Front Wheel Bearing Kit - £19.22 each
    Rear Wheel Bearing Kit - £32.75 each
    Front Pads - £12.53
    Rear Pads - £10.74
    Rear Pad fitting Kit - £7.93
    Water Pump - £66.11
    Rad Fan Switch - £10.93
    Thermostat - £7.23
    Phase 1 Fuel Pump (uprated) £66.11
    18" Wiper Blade - £2.24
    18" Spoiler Wiper Blade - £3.22
    Rear wiper Blade - £2.18

    Headlight - 472 Bulb £1.24
    Rear Lights - 382 - £0.21 380 - £0.25

    All prices are + vat @ 15%

    Most of those I should be able to take 10-20% off pricing depending on which ones and how many you want to buy

    Sachs are £46.39 + vat

    But depending on numbers as above parts, can remove between 10-20% off that.
