They were Volvo plugs, but the main dealer history ran out a long time ago. Judging by the condition, a LONG time!

It was installed by someone you should avoid.

Did they chase the threads?
Use your "mates garage" henceforward, no?
Well, the spark was knackered and I have no idea who installed them.
Yes, threads were cleaned.
I’ve taken a bit of offence to your last comment.

I would very much doubt Georgeandkira meant any offence by that comment. I read it as him advising you to use your mates garage to service your car in the future as they obviously did such a good job getting the plugs out. Once you get a mechanic you can trust and who knows what he or she is doing then you treat them like gold dust!

+1 for that.
I read it the same way. G&K was most certainly saying to stick by your mates garage.

I was in a bit of a bad mood last night.
Apologies for my reply
