Hi,

I want to replace my Jazz spark plugs with NGK Iridium spark plugs.
Repco got them on special at the moment (20% discount).

There are 8 plugs in total, 4 at the front and 4 at the back.
Do you know how much will it cost to get a mechanic to adjust the gap to 1.1mm and fit these 8 plugs into my Jazz?

Thanks.

its a twin spark you n00b.

iridium plugs are normally about 25 bucks each. with the discount itll be about 20 bucks.

times that by 8, you get 160 bucks.

Wtf? Since when? That the first I've ever heard of this town spark business? How many other engines are made like this and what are the benefits?

If you get the right model # it should already be gapped. The last 2 numbers in the NGK model is the gap. eg Jazz Iridiums BKR6EIX-11 = 1.1mm

^^^ but you always check/gauge the gap to make sure.
