I have these plugs on mine follow the Ebay linky.

£55 on Ebay but i got them for £45.

People say the origonal plugs are really good but i had to buy the NGK PLATINUM PLUGS.

I have noticed the car runs a lot smoother but maybe thats cause my plugs ( origonal Volvo ) were absolutely knackered.

The origonal T5 plugs can be had off of simon ( RUFE ) for under £30 delivered.

Personal choice at the end of the day.

have used NGK platinums for well over a year they are fine as far as i can tell,thats in an lpg converted car. but would think the proper volvo platinums are just as good?
