bog standard NGK, don't waste your money on anything else unless its running boost, and even then I believe you just use a different heat rating, will cost you under a tenner and everywhere stock them, don't go to Halfords unless you have a trade card.Bosch have been known to give issues in pugs, standard fit is Eyquem IIRC, RFN 58 LZ, same as the S16 engine, they state a 60k Km interval! edit, pug list the EYQUEM - RFC58LS3 on servicebox  (£7.15 each)________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
