Availability of NGK plugs

[nickj633]

Has anyone else in the UK had difficulty in getting proper NGK plugs for their car (BCP7EV)?
I went to SAAB, they wanted to charge 30 quid for a set, but the bloke told me to look elsewhere 'cause they would be cheaper, it took 5 visits to various Halfords, and a number of small dealers to find them. Finaly in a Halfords superstore thingy in Birmingham stocked them, but for nearly 7 quid per plug!! Has anyone seen them for less?

NGK plugs are about under $2.00 each here in the states - Portland, OR. It may sound odd, but if many of you in the UK need parts, I have access to most saab parts at very low prices. I could ship out plugs in quantity if someone there wanted to be a hub for them.

Hell....two dollars a plug, that equates to roughly one pound fifty over here, are they the same speck the BCP7EV's for the 16v turbo?

Europarts have them for about £4 + vat, the EV's are about double the price of the ES's.

So what is the diff between the EVs and the ESs? Apart from the price!
