Ignition upgrade advice please

Hi all,

I figure it's probably time to treat my car to some new plugs and leads (because I haven't changed them in the 2yrs I've had the car) but I'm not sure what to get. I hear talk of NGK Iridiums and Magnecor KV-85's - are they the recommended option? And if I'm swapping these, should I also change dizzy cap and rotor arm considering they are as old as my plugs/leads? Or is me messing with these things likely to throw up other issues?

Advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yep that's what have. Same leads & Iridiums or platinums. Prob go for the platinums. Take your dizzy cap off and see what the contacts are like but if it ain't broke it should be ok.

I found the cheapest place to get KV85's was DC Performance http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/
