How much are spark plugs?

[Jonny69]

How much are plugs these days? Just run of the mill NGKs, nothing special. It's been years since I bought them, but being the skinflint I am I'd rather wipe out my local trade and buy them online if it saves me 50p

About £9 delivered for 4 seems to be the best price I can find for BP7ES's's. I swear they were nearer to £12 last time?

Hmmm, £9.50 in Halfords.

With a Halfords trade card a set of NGK copper core plugs for a Zetec SE engine came to £7. The NGK plugs are pretty good value.

I really could do with a trade card. Need tools and servicing bits for the SAAB

I paid £24 for 4 plugs for the 206 last year from Peugeot as Halfords didn't have them. Plugs can be expensive.

When I worked in parts last year, most standard NGK spark plugs we sold were about £1.50-£2.50 each.

£9 is about right. We have just brought some BRISK Silver Racing plugs for the track car. 4 for £15

NGK should be around £1.50-£2 each

Lucky you don't own an RX-7, they're usually £7+ each Luckily I bought about 20 from the US when the exchange rate was good....they were $6 each.

I really dont know much about the detail of how cars work, but i think the spark plug is only used to start the engine? If so, why do you get 'special' spark plugs?

 

[Janesy B]

Spark plugs are used continually. Not just to start the engine.

Glow plugs are the ones used for starting only on diesels. Spark plugs run continually as Jansey says.

Halfords trade card ***.

Although its hard to know how cheap something will be untill you take it to the till. I have got two H4 bulbs for 48p which had a shelf price of around £9.

I have also purchased gearbox oil for around £8 or £9 and only received a discount of 50p

 

[Glaucus]

No idea but mine where like £30 stupid twin spark nonsense.

 

[saitrix]

I got mine on trade card at halfords, about £5 i think. You got loads of receipts for car stuff Jonny? If so if you havent already got a trade card then get one.
