Anybody tried Iridium plugs yet? The theory sounds good!
Couldnt find anything about B7EC plugs on the NGK site
so couldnt find the iridium equivalent.But after an hour of searching i came up with a cross reference chart on the Denso site. So i thought i'd pass it on.
They cross ref NGK BPR6ES plugs with Denso IW20 plugs.
Anyone tried them or found the NGK equivalent?

Who says they don't make them anymore?

They may be a special order.

NGK dont list them so its a good assumption they dont make them or have changed the code.

They never have... I get mine from Autoserv in Milton Keynes. The 520 eats them instead of Weetabix.

Well would you believe it.... i was wrong again
This is the reply from NGK -

Dear Sir

NGK Spark Plugs still manufacture B7ECS, we have plenty in stock.

Any NGK stockist can order this part number for you the stock number for
the plug is 2528.

I hope that this helps with your enquiry.

So ill just hang my head in shame and stand in the corner
