I got some from ebay recently, pattern ones but seemed well made, don't remember the price but my bid was below the paddocks pattern price.

Yer pays yer money .......... blah blah blah. Found the same thing, Champion plugs megabucks and the others cheap. Someone told me that my 300 Tdi does'nt really need them unless it is very cold as it is Direct Injection ???
Recently fitted Bosch to my 90. £8.50 each. Starting was transformed. Until my recent starter motor problems anyway :-(

I would suggest getting good name brand plugs. I am told that the tips of the cheapies tend to break off and then rattle around in your combustion chamber. Not worth a few pounds saving IMHO.
