Trying to replace my misthreaded spark plug.

I am confused, there seem to be so many numbers and types, what to do they all mean and do they matter?

The plug I took out was a Bosch R0 951 (printed on the ceramic part) and W5AC stamped on the metal part.

Every shop I have been in says they dont have it, "it must be a specalist plug". It looks fairly standard, there must be a widely available equivalent?

Any help much aprechaited.

Thanks

Might be worth calling Andy Prill or PRS or similar to order some?

Cheers

Thanks

If I look up NGK BP6HS plugs on the internet they come up as motor cycle plugs?

NGK's are soooooo much better than Bosch's (in my experience)
