Recently paid : Leads..251.00
Plugs.. 57.60
Caps .. 98.00
Rotors .. 50.00
Distributor dust boots....25.00
Fitting including 2 hour to set up
ignition afterwards.......329.70
All plus Vat @15%
This is on the 993 , so twin dizzies, 12 plugs etc.Don't forget all of this stuff is imported from Germany, so it has all gone up a lot in the last year cos of the exchange rate
hope this helps,cheers

yeah thats about right, when you say setting up ignition what do you mean??
Russ - personally i would cost it in with a new set of rocker gaskets and a valve clearance setup... seeing as you are working in the same area...

when I had mine done, it turned out that the leads and dizzie caps, and rotors were original (date coded) and made a huge difference to the car ,when they were changed, so not bad value given how long they last. Don't be tempted to cut corners using cheaper leads, it is I am told it is a false economy. My leads were sourced in Germany, and I am told that there is even a difference in quality between some of the German units and units of the same make sourced here
Beru in my case. Good luck

They have never been changed and where fu@ked.
No metal bits in the dizzy, worn away.
Its better, pulls a little stronger, only on a brief rush hour 45 min drive on the m56-60. Defo needed doin.
