NGK Iridiums BKR8EIX ***12k mile update on page 13***
56OctyVRS:
Since refitting the 7s my mpg has gone back upto 37ish on a run. I could barely get above 30mpg with the 8s fitted on a run. The engine is running smoother now and seems to pull better. I think for normal driving the 8s are probably a bit too cold. When I removed them they were fouled so they werent getting hot enough to burn of the carbon deposits.
Saintsteve:
I found the same . Better on 7's then 8's too.

I fitted these Iridium 7s about 10 days ago, after having Platinum 6's for the previous 16 mths. To be honest, i'm not sure if i will stick with the 7s!? Maybe it's just me, but i've found it takes 2 or 3 turns to start in the morning now; with the 6's it started 1st time hail, rain or snow! This morning (last used on Saturday) it took about 3 turns AND started quite gingerly, does anybody else have this?? It just seems ironic that all this started IMMEDIATELY after upping to the 7's...... :sad1:

Out of interest, how old is your battery?
