Be interesting to see if he ever did put in those plus fours in or 
find another D owner with any experience of acually using them. Mine 
only comes from fitting them into Fords. As said at the end of the 
day there is nothing wrong with a good condition stock set up.

What was your bad experience with the Plus 4 , melted electrode, was 
this on a D? 

Kind Regards
