Spark Plugs: The Unsung Heroes of Your Engine — Bob's Got Your NGK!
> Ever wondered what makes your engine purr (or roar)? It's those little spark plugs, igniting the magic in your cylinders. But like anything working hard, especially in those high-performance, supercharged Jaguar and Land Rover engines, they wear out. When they do, things get a bit rough, and your beast won't be as beastly. Precise ignition is key for these powerhouses, and that's where a fresh set of plugs comes in.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Engine misfires or rough idling — a real bummer when you expect that silky-smooth ride from your luxury vehicle.
• Suddenly using more petrol than a cafe lunch? Inefficient combustion is likely the culprit.
• Your Jag or Landy feeling a bit sluggish, not quite hitting those acceleration notes like it used to? Power drop is a dead giveaway.
• Struggling to get the engine going, especially when those crisp NZ mornings hit.
• The dreaded Check Engine Light (CEL) flashing up, often pointing to a misfire code.
Will it pass WOF?
While a worn spark plug isn't a direct WOF fail, the issues they cause — think excessive emissions from incomplete combustion or that persistent Check Engine Light — could absolutely see you fail. Keeping your plugs tip-top means hassle-free WOF checks and a happy engine.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Can be a bit fiddly with engine bay access in some fancy models)
Estimated Time: 1-3 hours, depending on your ride and its engine setup.
Tools Required: Spark plug socket set, ratchet, torque wrench, gap gauge (if they're not pre-gapped), dielectric grease, anti-seize compound, and maybe some special tools for those coil packs.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
