zxrs don't like splitfires mate, stick with the NGK & iridium if you can afford it.

i've got a brand new set of CR9E if you wanna try em for a tenner? the only difference is CR9EK have 2 electrodes as opposed to 1 in the CR9E.

i'll have em off you then baz, for a tenner i might as well replace em instead of try to clean them up. my old mans in redditch with work, hes at north moons moat or headless cross, any chance he could pick them up from ya / what times best.

also if you have a spare fuel relay could i borrow it, just to check if that is causing issues too ?
