Thanks. Looks like all 3.2s use the 4 electrode plug for emission and longevity reasons. Part no. in Trade Club booklet 2010 is 9195868, TC price then was £2.60 each. plus VAT, so 6 would be £18.72 inc. vat. Has anyone a current trade club price?

I finally got mine changed in my MFL 2.5V6 earlier in the year (When Daz did my Cam belt and sorted Water Leak from oil cooler plate  :y.) 

I was on the ORIGINAL GM plugs (with no issues) and 14 years old  :D (I have had car from new  :))  Now that is Longevity  :y 

In fact, I am still on original battery  :D :D :D

I tend to use GM twins in both my 3.0 and 3.2. The quads are for longevity (but come loose after 40-50k, so if retorqueing, may as well replace).

Twins have the advantage of cheaper, and less spark shielding.
