I just di a price for spark plugs, air filter, oil filter and front brake pads

£44 for sparks

£35 for air
£20 for oil
£46 for brake pads

WTF, That cant be right, surly that has to be for performance parts.

Might have to go back to halfords and see if they can order disk pads in, they do the rest but only to order.

a local motor factors, or partco would be the best place, and loads cheaper than halfords.

i managed to get front discs for my 200 for 24quid, every where was 90+

Surely you have a motor factors reasonably local?

You might get similar prices from everyone, some jap car consumables are expensive for no reason!

Aren't splitfires proper firebreathing blowtorch stylee spark plugs? And therefore dead expensive anyway?

No idea, they seem to be the recommended ones. Along with the most expensive NGK ones.

Would putting cheaper ones mess the computer and sensors up.

It seems the days of just going and buy a spark plug has gone.

nope a sparks a spark, splitfire plugs only offer "possible" longer life its one of these false economy things and tuner OMG my car has uber plug things that really do nothing.

if the spark plug sparks the fuel ignites if it dont, it does not ignite, and you get a missfire.
so as long as the plugs you are using provide adequate sparking then there is no need to use anything else.

i personally wouldnt waste my money on them £2.50 ngks do the job fine as long as the lenth, thread, seat taper and heat rating are correct
