When should I change my HT leads?
I've a 1500HL.
The same leads and plugs have been on since I got it eleven years ago and I don't know how long they've been on before that. I only do a few hundred miles each year.

i changed my ht leads when i had a mis-fire,change to silicone type and never looked back at extra cost,but its up to you when you wont to change them or wait for the breakdown or misfire

11 years for plugs, blimey that's some going - I always changed plugs every 2 or 3 years back in the day and still do with my classic.

Doing that with some of the latest ones fitted in new cars would be costly though.
