Right I'm gonna be doing a big service of the old mota soon (325i).
And I'm wondering about sparkers, my brother swears by Bosch Super 4's,
said they made a hell of a differance in his 2.9 Ford Sierra 4*4.

Any one tried them or anything similar. If they make a better burn as they say then they must be worth the cash
cosidering how much use a spark plug gets.

I tried Bosch super 4's and they had no effect over the old bog standar Bosch plugs. However NGK's made cold starting a little easier and I've used them ever since.
