Those are essentially the same plug, in NGK speak the R stands for resistor. You don't need a resistor plug on a 2CV

James,
it depends on the combined resistance of the plugs + ignition leads.

If that's too high, you could encounter misfiring under high engine loads or poor starting with the resistor plugs...

ken

p.s. If the shop will swap them, ask for B7HS ( or even B8HS if you drive the car hard)

its the "bio" content in newer better greener petrol

its what turns the fuel line rubber to bakelite and will eventually sissolve the brass jets in the carb, and with the other anti knock additives to replace the lead makes the fuel burn leaner(and cleaner?) by carrying Oxygen molecules in to the mix. hats why timing has to be reduced and cars that ran fine now pink
