not really - this list may help with finding a matching plug from DENSO

if i'm not mistaken SAGEM automotive components , ignition systems in particular are sold under "EYQEM" in some markets

What ever brand that the manufacturers dump in originaly into the car is the way to go.

Plugs are electrical conductors.. read up on the best materials that do this- Copper is by far a better electrical conductor that Iridium or Platinum or Gold. and standard plugs are normally copper.

To echo the above, while spark plugs are a critical factor in how well an engine burns fuel, i am not convinced spending Rs*000's just to get "better" plugs is the way to go. I tried out Iridiums, and they didn't last even a year. I now get the basic NGK G-Power or recently, the V-Power plugs.

The important task is to regularly check on the condition of your spark plugs and replace when necessary. A new plug is far better than a fouled expensive one.

Had NGKs before and Replaced with the same.

Iridium plugs are expensive. Agents said it would do about 100K kms with Iridium plugs. Anybody using Iridiums? and do you get any performance difference other than the longivity?

lol good one machan... but i don't have to struggle because we are doing nothing illegal....

100k on Iridiums.. thats the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. They (the agents) must have meant platinum or something.

Just a note NGK competition plugs come in copper... of course they are not meant to last- but do give the best possible output

[Devinda_Z]

all marketing spin - no plug in the real world work for 100k - although manufacturers may claim otherwise

even for a platinum tip premium plug a realistic figure would be around 40~60,000 kms

Wellll.... you might say that ... bit more than i bargained for actually!! i can now conclusively say that an old car is a MINEFIELD!!!

[gunat]

Don't say you weren't warned

Anyways, this is going to be the most Painstaking, Pissed off, liberating, and satisfying experience you will have with a car. (Yes, i used those four words together)

As someone said earlier, attend to the mechanical stuff first. Leave your interior as the LAST task, because believe me, its going to get messed up in the meantime.

If you need any assistance, let me know, and i do my best to help out.

Good Luck!

....hmmm the sad irony of it all is the fact that it was 'That' was the one salient and positive point & was the reason S_N decided to buy the thing in the 1st place!

shame if that has to be redone as well
