I can't remember the last time I changed mine on my Storm, but I'm guessing it was 20 years ago!!! I've had them out today and they are looking tired... It has the Bosch one's with the 3 prongs? Where can you get them from now, or alternative? I've done loads of searches on e bay," EG code 1.6 , 1980" etc... But I'm not finding what I want, loads with the single prong etc. I'm reluctant to go to my local Halfords and pay a fortune for something I'm not sure about..... I know there are a few bods on here who are expert at this sort of thing.

Try putting the part number off one of your current plugs into evilbay and searching that

Sounds like you're using the Bosch WR56 ones. That's what I have. Can get them most places. Got mine from GSF

Check the NGK catalogue online and it shows as BP7ES (Iridium is BPR7EIX) , if you then go onto www.sparkplug-crossreference.com and put that NGK number in it will give you any other options from all manufacturers.

FYI on my Corrado I went onto the Iridium equivalent , bought cheap off the web and they do make a difference on older cars with fairly rudimentary injection and ignition set ups

Bosch 4 prong plugs I use in both my 1978 Mk1 Scirocco and 1988 Gti golf, they will fit your car.
Golf I have to unscrew the end cap as I have later HT leads and Scirocco I have to leave the cap on.
