    any recommendations for spark plugs for the 1.3?

    do NGK do any? their partfinder just lists the turbo. So what good Japanese SP manufacturer is there for the 1.3?

    Cheers DaG. I guess its work given the delco ones a go for a tenner. Its not like a power monster of an engine that I would lose lots if I've not got triple iridium super 6s...

    Be happy to keep efficiency.

    I would go for a make like Bosch or Champion rather than Acdelco. I've read a few bad things about Ac plugs since I posted that link for you so maybe best to avoid.
    These seem a reasonable buy and this company is on eBay as well......

    Here's a spark plug cross referenced which lists other makes......

    When it comes to plugs I just go to my local parts shop and quote my car or it's reg and he gives me the right plugs. He stocks NGK and Bosch which I've never had any bother with.
