no i have got 4 plugs lol...although u wouldnt know it fro it performance lol.
i used to use redex,they do a small 1 shot bottle for 99p and i used to use that for a while but i didnt really notice any difference.can u pur that stuff down the plug holes? and can i use it to clean the black oily gunk from the throttle body? aslo niticed that the acualy injector plug and surround is quite black and oily too...it never used to be,when i first got the car it was clean as a whistle,all started going wrong when i got the bloody back box fitted.the garage who fitted it kept my old back box so i aint even got the old 1 to put back on

bin the backbox.
Clean oil out of TB by spraying in carb cleaner whislt reving the car to about 2k (remove air filter and spray, or read instruction on can of 10k boost LOL )
dont bother with redex, and dont spray it into the chambers either. Most additives are just a waste of time

just spraying it into the intake pipe before the throttle body will be fine.
SERVICE the car though.
