Thought you said you couldnt afford £200?
And if all you did was shuffle the plugs around thats just moving the problem to another cylinder O_o

no, i can afford monthly payments of that. i get my student loan every month..... and no i meant, i have a box of 4 plugs, 4 old plugs, and i took my new 4 out, and put them beside the old ones, and i must have mixed one with the old ones. so, i took that one out and found my new, barely used one in that box.. and put it in, and now its fine....
