It's usually the insulation that fails, so take each one off the car and look for cracks... I found that they were dead by pulling the rubber end bits off and if the bakelite like plastic crumbles in your hands then it's knackered...
New ones cost £60 each
Unless they're involved in Subaru's new pricing policy...

Disconnect the lead to the coils one by one, and briefly start the car up (after only disconnecting one 
) See which one makes the LEAST difference to the way the car runs....You then know which one is failing/failed...The small 2 pin connectors can be quite tricky to get apart...Use a small flatblade screwdriver to push the tab towards the body of the connector!

Put some new plugs in about a month ago. ( was running fine ) I checked the coil rubbers then, they looked OK. I'll disconnect them at the connectors and see what happens.
Thanks Guys.
