Can't say I noticed a significant improvement.
Apart from starting.

Robbie, thanks for the vote of confidence. Although it's a cheaper (and less stressful) option, I didn't like the idea of remotely cranking up the FBH 20 minutes in advance of using the car. If I'd wanted a vehicle that required 'warming up' before use I'd have bought a traction engine Laughing
However, as I've posted, I'm only getting 4 replaced.

Update. Just got the car back. They've removed the 4 broken plugs, cylinders 1,2,3 and 5 and replaced them with BERU units. Not sure about the etiquette or otherwise of posting the costs on the forum, but I presume a PM will be OK. So, if you're interested let me know.

great to hear you have the truck back Thumbs Up

At least you can head into the winter knowing your not going to get much trouble with cold starts & plumes of grey smoke Smile

Drop me a PM if you will with the detail around the painful costs involved & i'll forewarn the bank manager (SHMBO) for next month.

The garage called earlier of the 5 plugs they were going to replace. All five came out in one piece Thumbs Up

That's a result I wasn't expecting.

Guess the 6th wasn't for coming out then?

We decided not to touch the 6th to keep cost in budget. The thinking was 5 is better than none Thumbs Up

Would guess the one not replaced was “under” the HPFP!

Nick,
Excellent news, especially after your recent hub/MOT outlays. Always nice when one finally goes your way. Best regards,
