Thank goodness!
Spark plugs are like women - might look good on the outside but in reality they are f****** useless!

It would have been overfuelling that killed the plugs.

What's the science behind this? I've known it with 2 stoke engines. What has actually been damaged if the plugs look okay?

When tasted all they did was emit a little puff of smoke.

I've done a bit of research and apparently modern fuels with the additives can degrade the ceramic and reduce the effectiveness of the
insulator. This shouldn't be a problem if fuelling is correct but apparently it's a known issue in the classic car world with modern
fuels, modern plugs but in an old engine with less than perfect fuelling set up.
Keep in mind this was Web based research I did so could be utter nonsense!

Well I’ve just been in the garage rebuilding bits back up. It now starts on the button first crank and runs DAF’s maps no problems. the exhaust even
smells of exhaust, not petrol.
Thanks everyone for the help.
