Spark plugs

[Scotchegg]

Hi All,

a bit of advice please....

My NSX 3.2 Coupe is going in for a service tomorrow, the car has covered 34,000 miles and the Honda dealer is telling me the spark plugs should be replaced. What do you think? At what mileage / age is it recommended they should be replaced?

Cheers

The hand book says 60K or 6 years. However, a lot of people only change on mileage.
Additionally, it's worth buying from a wholesaler (look on the net or search on this site), as franchise prices for plugs are shocking. About £108 a set shocking!!! You should expect to pay around £8-9 each, not £18!


Cheers,


James.

if in doubt change them, but get them from somewhere other than honda!

Cheers James,

thats probably why they mentioned it...given its an 03 car. I think i'll skip the spark plugs getting changed as they had quoted £400 for the service including spark plugs!...which is pretty steep!

...the car seems to running fine but i may as well shop around and get them replaced at some stage next year when its 6 years old.
