I changed my spark plugs a few months ago for these and my car has been running fine 
and you left the spacers on the plugs?

They should have come correctly gapped. If you buy, forexample, the OEM one from Ford for our car they come correctly gapped but any proper mechanic would double check to make sure.

Mine has these plugs fitted and runs fine, they are already gapped so no need to mess about with them.
Has your mechanic fitted them ? have you checked.

Always check the gap, my dad bought some for his car and they came with twice the gap they were meant to have

Spacers? .. are you talking about the spring washers on the threaded part on each plug?
If so ... they definately have to stay on! ..
