The IK series are for performance, the VK series for longer lasting, long distance driving.

I can fully understand getting the best price for your parts requirements for your MINI
BUT -who are you going to call if you have any problems or fitment issues,what response do you expect from large multicar suppliers?
Would they know that the cooper S can and has popped out the plugs if not torqued down tight?
would they care?
The vendors spend a lot of time trying to answer owners problems and solve them,always trying to save the owners hard earned £/$
We know that we cannot compete in price matching in a lot of high volume items with large suppliers,but we do try.
Without the support of the owners we will all simply cease to exist.with support we can get more competative and ultimately benefit You the owners

minioneandrew · Feb 6th, 2008, 12:01 PM

How much should the spark plugs be tightened when replaced?
Cheers
