You know what... I have no idea...I would guess *lots*

I got the plugs checked about 3 months ago and they were kinda *umm needs doing soonish..* but those were the 9\'s the 7\'s were fine (well worn but not like that)

Andy,  they mainly look old (how many miles on them?).

What fuel have you been running?

Martin using a Sony mate (I\'m a sony whore) Has a closeup mode, flick it to flow and it concentrates on it.. any sony one has it me thinks..

Glen, no idea mate... been in since I had the car. Kept meaning to do them but couldn\'t find a ramp, then couldn\'t get to them then etc etc

Assuming they were put on for sva, 9000 miles, but before.. no idea.. fuel nothing by optimax :)
