Note: can I just make it clear I mean MY (model year) 2010 not literally my sat nav.....sorry if I caused any confusion. On Hols in France at the mo. Putting longitude/latitude figures, addresses in French or point and press can be a little time consuming on occasions. We have picked up lots of leaflets from the tourist offices for places and chateaux we wished to visit. I had not realised that I could just input the French phone number in on the phone number option. It works an absolute treat. Took us straight to the front door of Chateau Villandry today. Madame Val of our gite has given us the details of a super restaurant in Chinon for fri night so that number is going in the nav tomorrow morning. On the whole the nav has been very good. There has been the odd junction change where 5 exits are now 4 and the odd piece of new autoroute that is now complete...quite surreal doing 85 across fields!

Hello Colin. NGK are a good make of spark plug. I cannot say they are the best for your vehicle, but they should not fail as drastically as described. LPG should not burn hotter than petrol if correctly mapped. It has a higher calorific value and RON which makes it burn longer.... The temperatures that Petrol and LPG create whilst being burned within the cylinder head could not melt a spark plug. Something more drastic has happened in my opinion, such as the cylinder was running lean or rich for too long. There is also the possibility of the plug not being fitted properly in the first place. If the plug was able to draw in air, you will have a rich mixture burning at all times. Once again, I wish you the best of luck. Kind regards Leon Profess LPG LTD.

Hope this helps you determine the reasons as to why your sparks went the same way as this 1 did.
