Guys,

what is the standard change interval for sparkplugs? My

has covered 32,000 miles and im guessing is still on the original plugs. No problems at all, and only a DS remap so far, just wondered what the recommended interval is?

Ta,

Mark

I don`t know what the official verdict will be but i will be changing mine when they arrive and i have only done a third of the mileage that you have.

I think (don't quote me on this) it's done on the second service 2yrs old/ 25k which mine was and did wonder when they would need changing again as I have now done 50k in 2yrs

I changed mine at 32000 miles to the RS ones , cant fault em. The originals looked very very dead.

If thats the case i will have a new set spare then

i only had the car in for its 2nd service a week ago

3 years or 36k iirc is the standard intervals(but i am probably wrong)

Mine will have it's forth in the next couple of week's so will get them changed any way, I have just got my original disc's and pads changed and thought I had got my moneys worth with them

I thought it was 3 years or 37,500 miles, which ever came first

Correct, Except Garry(Profile) recomends changing them every 2 years 25k on modded cars: see here http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/Service-Packages-t50210.html
I know I will be changing mine at the next service for the RS plugs, as the guy knows what he's talking about!

Hi there,

Just a couple questions regarding the plugs, I notice that some owners use S60R plugs and yourself with the RS plugs. What's the main difference between the standard plugs and I assume the uprated others?

Would a standard ST benefit from the uprated plugs?

Many thanks

Gjlatz

I am very interested in the difference with running the rs plugs. Does this make any difference??
Thanks

Doesn't the new ST come with the same plugs as the RS now?

Changed my 2007 ST's plugs with newly purchased RS plugs few months ago and found the old plugs to be exactly the same. New plugs made a world of difference to the responsivnes though.

Had mine changed yesterday on my 3rd year service. I too went for a set of RS plugs and found them to make a big difference although i would say its prob the fact that they're new plugs more than being uprated ones. A worthy choice though as they only cost a little over £40 inc postage from team torquesteer with club discount.
