sorry folks, but the OP put up a link to BCPR7E plugs from halfords & 2 responces have been that it is wrong........

if it is the right number, and the right price, then it can come from anywhere.

My bad, i never opened the link, just saw halfords and immediately thought overpriced!

Edit, opened the link, yep overpriced as i thought.

lmao @ 4 plugs lol


I run single electrode NGKs in my XE.
Standard GM plugs are the twin electrode type.

early xe use single electrode, late use twin :)

If you go to vauxhall make sure they look them up and dont just give you normal 16v plugs
