Hi, while I’ve been fixing and searching for the fault that’s took me off the road I’ve took the spark plugs out, my question is though which plugs should I use, the current plugs are NGK BPR 5EFS
These plugs aren’t listed as replacements and I don’t think they screw in far enough, the motocraft plugs seem to be difficult to course in the U.K. but Bosch and AC Delco are available, any good?

Get the AC Delco plugs.

Motorcraft and AC Delco plugs are both manufactured by Honeywell or NGK depending on application, and other than the name printed on the box and plug are usually virtually identical.

Copper Bosch plugs are fine for older applications, but their fine-tipped platinum plugs are better left to the German cars that they're OE for.
