They are not that costly anyway so i'm getting them, she deserves a bit of loving...

NGK Spark Plugs - BKR7EIX

I hope these are a popular choice.

Those NGK's are OEM so will be fine no need to spend loads on plugs unless your running silly horsepower.

When in 2007 was your car registered? reason i ask is it will be due its cambelt replacing at the 4 year or 60k interval.As this is due this year id try to get the garage to either replace it or knock some money off to cover the replacement bill,would be a shame for you to buy it then 2 months later have to spend £300-£500 on getting the cambelt replaced.I thought the spark plugs were replaced every 3 years.

Just got it remapped over the weekend so should be pushing 245 approx...nothing silly.
