Title: Where do/can you get BUR7EQP spark plugs in UK?
Post by: scooby_si on November 24, 2003, 06:25:18 PM
Now i know many run 9\'s all round & i recall seeing the 7\'s were somewhat hard to get hold of in the UK (http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/aahmed/azcrying.gif) A call to my local specialist unsurprisingly showed them to use 9\'s across the board....
Now i maybe a perfectionist & may even not give a damn & just go with 9\'s all round BUT can you fine peaps (http://burns.thefinaldimension.org/contrib/dday/wink.gif) share if & where you have been able to get 7\'s from (preferrable really cheap (http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/wonga.gif) lol)
Cheers

You wont get them really cheap anywhere Si :(

NGK no longer bring them into the UK - not sufficient demand.  Carl was looking into importing them from abroad, but don\'t know if he got anywhere.

My starting issues were cured when my cat left me so am now happy running 9s all round (I just change them about as often as most people change their oil (they\'re really cheap :) ))

Can get BUR7EQP and BUR8EQP from Japan but they come in about £14 a plug.

And 10\'s, 10.5\'s and 11\'s come in about £18-19...

As Robbie says, NGK dont seem interested in bringing the 7\'s in :(

Ross lists them on his site (http://www.dragonperformance.co.uk) for 45 quid for 4, which is pretty good :)  

I can get them cheaper, but only if a there is interest in quite a few sets - and I\'d have to post them.  Best bet IMHO is to speak to whoever is looking after your car.  Say you can get them from for 45, and you will probably be able to get your specialist to charge you close to this :D  You get a decent price, and your mechanic doesn\'t feel cheated.

I think Geff charges the same. But I think he\'s looking at getting a job of 9\'s, 10\'s and 11\'s soon so that may be improved upon...

Now if you come in a get them. Although I am trying to set-up a decent courier service. So cant really do any offers till then, because I will have difficulty sending them out for reasonable prices.
But feel free to pop down and pick the bits up.

Hi all,

Got a price from a place here in Sydney for the BUR7EQP plugs - they are AUD$40 each!  expensive little buggers.  So by the time they got to the UK would make them pricey.  :(

So 7\'s and 8\'s for £13-£15 landed here is actually pretty good then? Blimey. Dont make no sense when u can get 9\'s so easy every where on the planet...

I`ve been using   Spark Plugs.co.uk    for some time. They list 6`s, 8`s and 9`s at £11.50 each. You can have as few as you need, and they send `em in a few days.
Incidentally, FC plugs (BR9`s, 10`s) are £6 each from the same site.
