Had local garage scan car and they gave me these codes
005663 plug 6
005662 plug 5
005661 plug 4
005560 plug 3
005659 plug 2
Is it possible that 5 out of 6 are not working or is there something else that could cause this .not sure if they been changed before but car has 253.000 miles on clock.and it they are all broke do I need metal or ceramic as not sure the vehicle reg is Gj57 GTY
Thanks

Did you remove them yourself and did they come out with out any problems as I heard bad things about them snapping

I had one die on my car. Replaced it myself, but the hardest part was getting the electrical connection off the top!
