Useful to know that. Beru plugs seem to work best with PSA engines.

Well, a result, and a lesson, as you say.
Too late to throw the fakes back, I suppose. There is an Ebay guarantee, after all. Is the ad still there?

Glad you got everything running. Beru are first class, and do work well for PSA diesels.

Just googled this a bit further, John.

Not BERLi, but Berlt . . . see Berlt.co.uk for their stuff.
If I was really suspicious, I'd say that name and mark was a deliberate attempt to pass off and confuse.
Even the horizontal stroke of the T has been chosen to recede when seen quickly.
Items ludicrously cheap, and aimed at maximising their sellers' margins (it says so).
I would be referring them to Trading Standards.

Items still on Ebay.

Carparts4less do beru ones, think they had a money off weekend and i got 4 for £18 or so. No issues since, did all 4 which was a pain on the turboD!

I bought cheap for the 206 and i think they lasted a month or 3. For the labour involved it pays to get decent ones.
