Spark plugs are different to the Racing models - According to the service look up spark plugs should be replaced on a 40k service along with oil filter, air filter, 2x air channel filters and 4.2ltrs oil.

On a 20k service for your vehicle it requires an oil filter and 2x air channel filters

Noticed any pro's, con's, observations? a balance of anecdotes saying go for Iridium or go for Platinum, what mileage when you replaced them?

My ignition system is not stock as I also use okada project plasma direct coil packs with the iridium plugs. Engine runs and idles smoother and more lively under load and high RPM. I am pleased with the setup.

Thanks Aiden, are you saying the plugs Cyclone mentioned are for the 150 or racing, I agree im a little premature replacing the plugs but like I said at least I know what has been done and when.

Not to worry, we have a servicing software in our service center and I've kindly borrowed it to put on my computer to see what goes on what service to what vehicle. Yeah they are different, stock plugs for the Racing are NGK IR ILZKR8C8G.

Nice one, I've just been on your website and came close to choosing a set of rear lights, but I've decided, after mucho Google images of DS3 rear ends that I prefer my 'retro' lights . I'm still shaking my head that DS3R wheels are the best part of £2k.

I've got the Retro rear lights on mine still, although I've been tempted to get a set of the rear lights when i've been packaging them up to send out.

I know I'm missing Xmas but I'm not sure the long haired general would understand

I'd have to see the new ones next to mine really.

Holy Moly, I thought I was the only one that liked the old ones better!

The are maybe slightly more subtle?

Each to their own eh ?

40k (or 20k?) between spark plug replacement seems a bit often. My previous Mazda had 120 000 km replacement interval for the plugs. I never reached it.

On a 40k service Citroen recommend replacing the spark plugs
