thanks i just bought some ngk platinum plugs too as good working practice, would i need to change all four coil packs or just the damaged ones if any?

I suppose you could just change the damaged one(s) BUT i would personally change all of them (but that could cost over £200+)

Well changed the plugs today and checked underneath the rubber boots on the coil packs all was ok looked fine then come to the last one and bam couple of hairline cracks so gonna change them this week, but spoke to scooby clinic and they said to insulation tape round the cracked ones if only hairline ones and put the boot back over it so thats what i did and its fine, all sorted but still gonna change them as dont like the idea of the insulation tape sounds a bit bodged! But it would get you home if in trouble i suppose. Anyway thanks a bunch for the advice!!
