New 14mm plugs are Ford, from halfords. Any 14mm copper washer will do, also halfords.

Hi

Just thought I'd post a follow-up to this. The job went pretty well, the only problem was that I couldn't get the shield off to drain the rh jacket due to a siezed nut on the exhaust but I gave the system a really good flush out afterwards and boy did some muck come out! It's all nice and blue now (instead of a rusty colour) and I don't have to top up daily which is nice

I did all the ignition parts while I was at it (oil cx this week too) and it feels like a new vehicle altogether! Thanks for all your help, I wouldn't have got there so easily without it.

Richard
