Default W12 spark plugs
The time has come, wheres best to buy 12 plugs? I know im going to be looking at over £100 quid for decent ones. Any specific brand or type it needs?

And also, do I have to replace the inlet manifold gasket when I remove and refit it.

Thanks

Interested in this too. Gonna service it soon and want to do the plugs at the same time. Any tips for getting the manifold off would be great too

Pop off the plastic w12 6.0 cover, then I think it's just the torx bolts in the middle of the manifold, then the jubilee clips for the air intake.
