Just make out on the spark plug "Iri", Start of Iridium (I used to have some, Same Logo design)

HUGE topic over on CRX-UK few months back bout iridium plugs, They dont have any performance Value, They break easily and Glow WHITE hot. What your seeing there is what happens when a White hot Iridium tip drops off.

Just lucky that the tip didint melt through the piston and into the oil!

Feel sorry for you mate, hope you sort it out and she comes back stronger!

Lots of resources for you in the UK to sort it out though
