Plugs are going downhill after about 5,000 miles

Leads depending on original quality, some not fit from new, others will age after 3~5 years, others will last twenty maybe, all depending upon underbonnet heat and oil.

everyone will tell you different I expect, but soemone might have a recommended make.

If you have a backstreet garage neaby who do quality work, ask them what plugs they get least trouble from...

Bosch or NGK... Beru are prob good but never used them...

A good set of quality leads ought to last 5-10 years... cap and rotor.. prob every 20k (depending on how bad it looks!)

For LPG ignition system NEEDS to be in good condition.. may want to advance timing a fraction from stock too..
