Etka lists them as only for the RS6 which although is a V10 it has different part number to the S8 for plugs

Listed number for S8 is 101905621B NGK number is PFR6W-TG

NGK lists PFR6W-TG for S8 and PFR6W-T for RS6, difference is that TG will run cleaner at lower temps so more suited to more relaxed driving in S8. RS6 is expected to be pushed more so higher temps should keep them clean anyway, in real life I don't think there is much difference.

You get any sort of discount on this purchase Borys, or is that the price to anyone walking into a dealer? Sounds quite reasonable that like, I was expecting £20 a plug at least, I'm sure that's the price I've been told in the past.

Reasonable, I thought you lived up north like, where men are renowned for being tight

That ebay link is for the same plugs at just 10.84 each, ETKA even says they are NGK plugs.

I would keep the rest for beer tokens, or fuel, both liquids are consumed in large quantities

There's a band that covers the country from East to West, it's called Yorkshire. Anyone above that band isn't so bad, then you go North of Carlisle and it's like Yorkshire all over again, but worse

No joking on the consumption, you'll know probably more than me how much these things can drink. I've given up trying to "tootle" these days, it makes no difference.

Warm it up, be careful, but just enjoy it, it's the only way

I cycle the 5 miles to work and back in all weathers because the idea of using the car for the short journey really does my head in, it doesn't even get up to operating temperature. Regardless of what I do I always get 15 to 18MPG and only ever see > 20MPG if it's on a long run

Same here exactly :-)
Still love it thou
I even contacted lpg company in PL
Only company does lpg converstion to this vehicle, was quoted 2k for the system which would take 2 weeks to complete
Was thinking about carbon deposits as on gas car would run cleaner
Then I thought its not worth it, got to wait till they will develope of the shelf ecu for v10's (that is major issue) and cost will dramatically cut in half of the install
