Wanna service my car over the next week..will be doing myself but anyone reccomend any good spark plugs for the car
 
I'd stay away from Ebay poo stuff especially for spark plugs.
Have a look on badger 5 website I'm sure he sells them on there and you know what your getting aswell.

For the price of (I think) 35 pound from the awesome gti webpage I'd rather order from there for piece of mind ( or is it peace) lol never was good at English in school

I've ordered the exact ones from eBay check that the sellers website it's all good and they turned up in perfect condition paid £6.50 each 25 in total but if you want to pay the extra tenner + PNP that's your prerogative

Its not the condition on how they look when they arrive,its when you put them in and use them is when you will find out how they are.
I hope urs are fine it's just I've heard bad stories of people getting spark plugs from ebay. Cheap copies

Fair enough completely understand personally had bad experiences with spark plugs from ebay in the past. Plus theres something else I want to order from awesome gti anyways for a tenner. And upto 50 pound they charge the same postage and package fee

@Asim1 I would never buy spark plugs or a maf or probably any sensors of ebay. You just cant be certain what you have until they mess up when put in and run for a while. As you say for the sake of a tenner just get them from someone reliable.

Packaging does look good tbh

Checked the resistance of the plugs check the barcode on the packaging check if the seller has got a proper real life store which they have now just to find a decent set of leads.
