Who has bought 6 of these little fellas when servicing their N52 3 litre lately? Any recommended online sellers/links?
Looked on Opie Oils and already thrown the oil in the basket but the spark plugs listed are 12 quid each, which seems a bit bonkers sending out 70 quid on spark plugs. Ebay is loaded with various x6 packs varying in price from 40 quid up to 100+ it seems a bit of a minefield...

Six plugs will never be cheap, 12 quid doesn't seem too bad and Opie don't sell crap. If you scan the net for discounts beware of ebay and Amazon who allegedly sell loads of fakes. But imagine how much money you could save if you got a new GR Yaris. :rofl:

Its funny because ten years ago I had a six cylinder engined car, and I remember buying plugs (legit ones) for a set of 6 for about 15 quid. Amazing how much they have gone up in that time. :o

Im not that bothered if its iridium or whatever (ultimately that only defines the longevity rather than any performance gain) just a reasonable priced set for a car that does about two to three thousand miles a year max.
