What spark plugs and leads should i get for my 1.2 16v as they need changing, its a pretty crappy engine anyway so is it worth me putting bosh ones in ect?
Also dose it have leads? never seen any although haven't really looked

Replace with whatever you're taking out. I'm pretty sure you have coil packs also.

No, the engine is desinged to have coil packs. I may be wrong, I can't see why you would want to change however.

the 1.2 16v uses a dis bar with coils built in just like this...........

if isn't broke dont fix it.
If its not working right your know about it as the car will/may misfire, run lumpy and have a lack of power there around £45-60 to replace too
As for plugs the standard vx plug are fine and are £1 ea on the trade club or £1.70-£2 to joe public
