Don't forget plug gaps are critical on these cars .... Mine was serviced by Halfrauds by the previous owner about a month before I bought it ... New plugs gapped to 1.1mm and the car was undrivable on hard acceleration ... Massive misfire almost like someone was switching the ignition off for a second ... I didn't think anything of it regarding the plugs as they where new ... Spent a couple of days digging around buying and replacing all the turbo vac pipes etc ... Made no difference ... Then spotted a post regarding plug gap size so I checked mine ,as stated above 1.1 mm so I reset them to 0.7 mm and the car was perfect . Much better and no misfire / stutter what ever you want to call it

I had the same priblem as you and it turnd out to be the simplest of things : corrosion on top of a
spark plug . Always check the free to fix stuff first. BTW I gap mine with credit card or similar. They are all the same thickness at .73mm .works fine for me e :-)

Genuine ones from Rimmers are surprisingly cheap at £30 each.

I have the genuine Beru items in my Shop for £34.99 inc P+P - as fitted at the factory.
Part number NEC000120 - Coil Pack - Late K Series (non VVC) Edit: Just dropped the price down from £39.99 to £34.99, as wholesale has dropped slightly. Bargain now!

The postage is the killer - if I remember correctly it'd be about £7 on these.
