I don't know where I got this but I thought I'd post it here so you know what to look out for when buying Denso spark plugs via eBay. Hope the link works.

I buy my plugs from local motor factor and no what I'm getting. I don't trust online shopping you never know what you are getting 

[Mr Vlad]

Has that link worked? Had problems trying to share the pages.

No Vlad,I it doesn't work.

[Mr Vlad]

Thanks David I'll have to find a way to make it work.

If only I could still buy my Motorcraft  N9Y spark plugs from the local British Leyland service centre.

OK I had to replace them every 10,000 miles along with the points but they would certainly not be counterfeit!
What’s next counterfeit Lurpak spelt as Urpak!

nope, it's Noorpak at Aldi  .  and that's not counterfeit .  it's probably better butter than Luuuurp stuff anyway .  cheaper whatever  .  or should i say less expensive ..  nowt's cheap these days 

Don't plugs these days last 100k miles ?

Apparently so with the iridium tips, although I’ve heard the tips tend to fall off the counterfeit ones into the cylinders!

We never had this problem years ago, how does this crap get into the country?

the Chinese syndrome .........  thinking it's cheep cheap cheep BUT all the while subversively undermining our transport system by making our vehicles defunct  ..  all part of the Russian Chinese threat to undermine us in our day to day lives and to stop us providing support to Ukraine maybe .........  China has openly stated it stands side by side to support Russia in all it does and wishes to do 

SO  bugger-up all UK transport by providing crap fake components seems a good way to go !

Please ignore this if my thoughts upset anyone supporting this China Russia pact  🤫              .  I think there's maybe a drone heading my way 😇

[Mr Vlad]

Malc. China's support towards Russias invasion of Ukraine isn't what it was. They abstained in the latest UN vote about supporting Ukraine.
