Just tried to replace the plugs in my perfectly running LPG 4L Jeep Cherokee.

Ordered from Euro-carparts via the reg check thing.

The ones that arrived are R9's. Purely by coincidence the ones I removed are R9's, I didn't know they were Bosch until I removed them.

So, it won't run at all with the new plugs, and since I broke one on removal it runs on 5 cyls now that I have replaced the old ones.

The only difference I can see is that the old ones are marked '788' and the new ones '205' . Any idea what this number refers to ?

I have checked the gaps, which appear to be OK...

I would have thought that it was just the part number, is the thread length the same as the old ones?

Once you know which cylinder swap one of the old plugs in & see

I've seen numerous faulty bosch plugs from euros of late for some odd reason

This is a strange one! I did a search on Bosch spark plugs for a 1990 L6 and it seems to be giving American references that are totally different to yours:

As already suggested, check the length first.
