ive been told that some series one come with the old smartlock, and the updates with smartshield, which is required if you are going to be putting series one ecu and loom in a series two.

Auto 2 went to platnum or iridium plugs across the range and the xr6 plugs projected further

i was told they went to a bigger sparkplug gap due to the larger coil pack, would explain your part no change
