Iridiums are the recommended plug.

I thought irridium plugs were better suited to big bhp cars and those that run on high octane fuel.

They are just a more efficient plug, the narrower tip means that you get the spark at a lower voltage which gives a more intense spark. You should get good life from them, most OEMs are fitting them now to engines with long service intervals.

A few jobs to do over the weekend. New auxillary belts and track road ends. After I had the tracking checked I noticed the driverside track rod end was leaking grease.

I noticed a bit of a lip on the discs so will change them and the pads.

Changed the H/T leads after finding the short one broken when changing spark plugs. Not sure if it's placebo but i noticed it was smoother to drive in crawling traffic and less hesitant.

With the dash cam running I needed another 12v for the Sat nav so I secured this one under the dash.

The faded wiper arms make any car look a lot older than it actually is so off they came for a sanding and spraying in satin black. Fitted them with some bosch aero flat blades. 18" driver and 16" passenger.
