I checked my plugs yesterday and the gaps on all 6 were about 80thou !

I haven't noticed any running problems at all, so I was really surprised at this, having seen on other threads how important the plug gap is.

I have now set them at 40 thou. Difficult to tell if the car runs better as it's wet today, and I'm being careful with my right foot, so I'm looking forward to a dry road to give it a try.

From memory I think the recommendation is 37 thou but others will be along to confirm

Both the wiki and the manual posted on Nobleparts say 40thou for a standard map 3 litre.
The manual says 35 for the M400 and 3 litre with a high boost map.

I'm sure other measurments work OK.
