Spark plugs 1.4 GL 1989
Some time ago I bought a set of NGK ZGR5B Sparkplugs, online they were listed for the 340 1.4. I thought that I might fit them today, however in the Haynes manual they are not listed, and the various listed ones have different gap settings.
What gap do I use for the ZGRB5B? Thanks in advance. |

Hi Clan
Thanks for the response. The plugs in the car are non original, possibly done 60,000 Miles. Car is running well though. |

Not sure what MPG I get, but think it's pretty good, probably as per drivers handbook, my 1.7 even at around 200,000 Miles achieved stated consumption.
MOT emissions attached, although I am suspect of his CO reading, my own CO meter measured 1.7 % His HC reading is about the same as last year, when his CO reading near enough coincided with mine. Last edited by 340man; Sep 16th, 2018 at 10:11. |

your emissions are remarkably low , on par with a fuel injection engine or do you have the catalytic converter ? I'm getting 40 mpg with journeys including some slow traffic or 45 mpg when out on a normal 50 - 70 mph drive . Incredible really as the older 1980 version was a struggle to get over 30 mpg , the later cars have some fuel saving details though and I have done a few things myself .. the 1.7 was even better .
