I see thr Pilsbury Dough Boy was giving you a hand then

Just out of interest, does the 2.2 have twin-electrode as original fitment, and not quad-electrode like the 2.6/3.2?

[Markjay]

Another thing, I read may pros and cons re whether you should use Copper grease on the threads on reassembly, so was not sure what to do, however the plugs I removed from the car were the original ones and they clearly had copper grease on their threads, so I figured whatever is good for the Vx/Opel factory is good for me and did use some Copper grease...

Done mine a few weeks back, had bits missing aswell from the plugs and one was loose out of the six plugs, thought my wells were dirty, happy to see your's were dirtier

Ohh thanks!  

I did not put any copper slip on my plugs, its it worth taking them out and dabbing a bit on/.

The reason is obviously to prevent seizing, but if you havn't done it then I wouldn't bother because opinion seems to differ on whether it is actually needed. As said I did because apparently Vx did, but its probably not worth taking them out for this.
