Not sure really, one lead to the spark plug is a bit worn....just thought it would be wise to replace them as they have been on the car since day one?  They expensive tho about £50

All three of those jobs are well worth doing, i changed the cap/rotor and leads this summer (ha) and it felt sharper and smoother, i also changed the g/box oil which is a very easy job and the change is lovely and slick now.

Are the basic HT leads which are about £40 ok?

The cap and rotor are Bosch/Lucas parts anyway but for the leads i went main dealer just for peace of mind, they were about £20 each i think.
