The guy did say to check the thread & reach of the NGK plugs I got, he said the ones I've bought are the direct replacement for the iridium equivalent?Quote:

Just made a call myself and explained my situation & whilst she isn't allowed to tell me what the lesser equivalent is to the NGK platinum plug, she said I won't have any issues with the previously quoted part number.
BKR5EIX-11 is the NGK Iridium
The NGK site has a wonderful tool to find the recommended plug, then a tool to cross reference standard plugs to iridium to platinum. Also one to refenece other makes to NGK
For a Disco 4.0V8 the following NGK references:
Standard: BKR5E-11
Iridium: BKR5EIX-11 (seen at $3.50 per on E-Bay)
Platinum: PFR5G-11 (at $16:00 per on E-bay)
OEM:Champion RC11PYPB4
DiscoB...you should have no issues with the standard plugs you have
Good good, I was just starting to get concerned with your previous post that maybe the ones I've got aren't right. Or I mis understood whichbis highly likely lol :)Quote:

Mind you we're talking at least double,and over triple the RPM your rover's doing and I can recommend E85 on an unpreped engine on a std ecu.
