SD1 plugs.

#1

Is there a long life type available for an injection SDI? Mine is due for
a plug change, and glancing through the Bosch listing in Halfords it seems
not. But perhaps someone knows different?

I do use unleaded.

Heaps of modern cars run platinum plugs. I tried some in my Dolly
(leaded petrol) some years a go and they loaded up to the point where
the car would not start only after 7000 Km with these plugs. Seemed that
unleaded cars at the time would run the plugs without problems.

What I was trying to find out was the part number - or where to find an
equivalents chart.

They SD1 onwards V8 used Champion N9Y or RN9Y or RN9YC or NGK B6ES at

least in the carb version these were about the most common plugs around at
the time used Mini/Marina/Allegro, MGB, Ford Xflow Viva and many Rootes
cars so should be availble in 4 point versions, if not you could fit the
plugs intended for the CVH Escort or a Rover 820 - the heat range is the
roughly same only downside being the smaller hex size.

Yes, but the Vitesse EFI engine uses different plugs from the carb engine
- GSP 6462 as opposed to GSP 4362 with carbs. Surprisingly, Rimmers don't
appear to supply alternatives.

That will be a Champion RN7YC or RN6YC equivanlent plug -- NGK B7ES or
B8ES -- again quite a common type -- I should be able to find an
equivalent multipoint plug especially as copper core plugs have a wider
heat range than the original.
