Hi, I've been advised that I *really* need Bosch plugs - but Bosch seem to list quite a few different ones [ (FR 8 ME), (FR 8 NP) , (FR 8 SC+) , (FR 8 NII 33 W) , (FR 78 NX) ].
Any recommendations as to which of these is the best choice ?

I use Bosch Super 4 plugs ... big improvement on single electrode plugs that were fitted.
FR 78 NX for set of four.

Thanks, gazza82, that's the information I wanted.
As a matter of interest, what were you seeing happen with the previous plugs ?

Hard to start first time and slighty rough idle. But they were probably quite old as there wasn't a recent invoice showing they had been replaced recently. They looked worn too ...

I didn't think so .. can't remember now but they weren't prohibitive shall we say or the daughter's car wouldn't have them!
