Talked to my Distributor and the sealant is not going to be cheaper than you can get it in Halfrauds, I will check with the manufacturer but dont hold any hope for a significant saving.

Sparkplugs are going to be:

G13B Engined Jimnys: NGK V-Groove - Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£11
M13A Engined Jimnys: Bosch Super Plus: - Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£11

I use some loctite thread sealant left over from a job at work years ago. I suppose golden haematite or stag would do the job if you have it.
Put some on next time, it won't explode without it now.

STAG now that is a blast from the past - used to use that on Norton motorbikes in an attempt to keep the oil in :laugh: , I presume they have replaced the asbestos with something else now?
