I use also a heat range colder plugs (6) on my car, and my plugs look very good, so guess it will be alright.

You could also keep your plugs and add the twin-screw, that way you will have the right heat range
Yes,I have been looking at and reading up on the twinscrew after a AMG SL had me looking at its rear end!!But he felt good and his car was brand new and still had the temporary sticker on it.

That was before the internet, and figuring out which wire went where took forever since I couldn't drive to the auto shop or library to look it up. Some lessons are never forgotten.
It would be kind of hard to mix up the wiring position on the Jag. The wire loom is attached and the little connectors to the coils are in a semi permanent position.

Default Jaguar OEM plugs

Just pulled the work sheet from the dealer. Fitted the following plugs: C2A 1535
to my 2001 XKR 4.0L at 68,000 miles. Only done 73,000 so no need to change. Looking on the web these plugs are Iridium Spark Plug - C2A1535 - Genuine Jaguar at www.rimmerbros.co.uk.

They had previously fitted AJ8 4575 plugs at 43,000 (so a 30K interval) - these also show up as Iridium so I am guessing likely same plugs with updated part numbers

I presume no great difference with NGK or Denso. Likely made by them anyway and rebadged.

I don't even consider jaguar dealerships a "non warranty work repair" shop at all,due to their prices.Just a place to buy a new Jaguar.

I would find a independent foreign service shop.

And the g for a 2000 XKR, 30-35 seems fight fo a boosted motor. The higher pressure usually requires a smaller gap.
