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

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...

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.
