How often to change spark plugs
Hi all
I'm in need of a service and considering changing the plugs. But i can't see any info on when plugs need changing - is done on mileage or on age or both? Any advice most welcome. Many thanks Mossy

They're long life plugs - good for 40k miles or 5 years

Yes, I was thinking "every other service" was a bit frequent!
That's 80's copper core thinking! The triple electrode plugs have quite a life in them - I replaced the originals on mine at 110,000 miles!! They were pretty rooted though! The cathode was the shape of a three pointed arrow!
