Thank you SLC206 but that figure is different to anything I can find. Sorry I wrongly quoted .1mm - in fact the recommended gap I found for the S engine is 1.1mm

Well you haven't said what engine code you have. What's the three letter code in your VIN?
I found another reference to an XFZ:

VERY many thanks. I am so impressed and grateful for the ready help and advice from this group.
Do you have an owner's handbook?
Go to the address below; change the language to English Australian in the bottom right corner; Select Handbook Pack; then Peugeot; then 406. The different models are shaded in the 406 image.

Thank you yes I have the original owner's handbook but can find nothing in it about plug gap. Mind you its indexing system is little short of chaotic.Do you have an owner's handbook?

Nothing wrong with NGK plugs. My manual for the Laguna V6 says 1mm gap.
Spark plugs come pretty much correctly gapped nowadays, I do check the gaps but rarely need to adjust them.
I have ES9J4S / XFX and also use NGK PLFR5A-11, 1.0 mm gap. When measured new, they were all easily within tolerance (+/- 0.05 mm) i.e. 0.95-1.05 mm.
Being an OCD engineer, I try to make them all 0.99-1.01 mm

It's 1mm.
Further thanks. That's what we set them to.
As per the original text in this thread over 10 years ago by Ikenna351. 5960GO is the Peugeot OEM number or better known as Bosch FR8 SPP332. I managed to get 6 of them posted online from Automotive Superstore for around $100 delivered. Shop around as you can pay twice that. https://automotivesuperstore.com.au/bosch-fr8spp332?filterVid=18147
Apparently they have a double platinum electrode at both centre and ground. Gap is listed as 1.05mm
