Spark Plug Gap Setting

Have to change the coils on my R61 Paceman 2014 so doing the plugs as well! I can’t find what gap to set them too. They come set at 0.8mm standard!

Anybody any tips on Coil or Plug changes ?

Cheers

Hello, here you go, check the N18 so its 2011+ Cooper S

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-plug-gap.html

Links to the socket you need if you have the 12 point like most plugs unless you get brisk plugs which take a standard 6 point socket.

Coils i run the Bavauto ones we carry. Just lift up and snap out on the coils. then insert and push down. They have a little tab on the top that slides in/out and you more the plug in/out. Kind of like a ECU connection.

Update

Had issue with flat spot and misfire in 2014 Paceman Auto that was giving Gear selector code issues.
Sourced coils and plugs but decided to change 1 thing at a time ! Plugs first . Car running like a dream ! The gearbox expert I spoke to said the Misfire could cause code issues and he was right!
Thanks for the help.
