Dear Brethern, How right you are !!! Got the NGk plugs from the SAAB dealer .They recommended NGK R bcpr6es plugs for my 9000cs with ignition cassette . I carefully changed the plugs using the plug spanner in the toolkit in the trunk ..No crossthresding and no overtightening and yes the ignition start up and fuel consumption has greatly improved .The car rolling average is back up to 29/30mp(imp)g from23/24.mp(imp)g Now two further questions. Should I use the bosch plugs on my briggs and stratton lawn mower ??? and how should I tackle a slight leak in the radiator ?
