BKR6EIX or BCPR6ET, there's only about £8 between them, is it worth it?
what the difference in them. i use standard single electrode plugs and just change them more often. triple electrode plugs are used just to increase service intervals. so its up to you.
standard plugs are twin electrode
BKR6EIX is an Iridium version which i currently have in my car but i havent noticed any difference between those and standard BKR6EK
NGK BKR6ES, best ones to go for.
BKR6ES are just a basic plug that fits, BKR6EK are twin electrode and what NGK recommend for the vehicle

£25.00 a set delivered, can anyone beat that?
Dont waste your time with precious metals or anything fancy.
Plain old stock plugs are all you need, single electrode copper items.
iridium and platinum are horrible conductors.
£25.00 a set delivered, can anyone beat that?
Just got a set from Halfords for £15
BKR6EK

Just to let people know, these can be picked up from ebay for a total of £12 inc. P&P.
I always buy them from there now, so much cheaper than everywhere else. ;)
Linky!

I've bought from them before as well. :)
Why do people think that they will notice a difference between different sets of plugs.
"yeah changed mine to triple lec plugs, cant really notice a difference"
lol makes me laugh

They are single electrode thus superior to the twin electrodes.
not in all respects they are not
yeah well I would put performance and reliability above service life myself.
id say the EK's would be more reliable, since they have a longer service life
anyway, ive tried the BKR6EIX in mine and didnt notice any difference
