    Spark Plugs? Which ones....

    I've tried searching but didn't really come to much...

    Sooo, I figured I'd start a thread to see what some of you lot think. Seems mine's decided to munch a plug and I was wondering what seems to work well with the S2? My Dad's got his own garage and is able to get Bosch plugs at a good price, but is there anything that I should look out for, any platinum or iridium ones to go for?

    I've always used platinum/iridium plugs in my bikes when possible and I think I can always notice the difference, response, mpg etc. but they've always been highly strung 2-strokes where any little thing can make a noticable improvement so does it apply as much to cars, especially with it being a Nothelle version?

      Agree with Andy.
      I think there's a few threads on here where others have tried various different types, all go back to the OEM spec Bosch F5DPOR in the end.

        Pay attention to the torque setting as many people find loose plugs and some have even
        blown out taking the coil pack with it.They need to be checked ocationally for tightness.
