Vauxhall 4 electrode plugs intended for the 2.6 & 3.2 cars. That's what's in my 3.0 Probably cheaper than Bosch too (especially with TC)

The twin electrodes are better as they shield the flame front in the cylidner less, the only advantage the 4 electrode ones have is that in theory they last twice as long (although often work loose before this advantage can be realised)
