So the car has got a bit juddery recently, as in when accelerating from lower speeds sometimes it’ll jolt 2-3 times sometimes quite violently. It doesn’t do it all the time, and happens whether the engines hot or cold regardless of outside temperature, engine load etc. Just thinking that I should probably change the spark plugs and leads when it gets serviced, unless anyone has some better ideas?

I they haven't been done within the last 5 years or you don't know if/when they've ever been done it certainly wouldn't do any harm.

Thanks, not sure when they were last done so will get them changed when its serviced. Which brand plugs are good, as I know some are pretty useless?

The Iridium range by NGK are generally considered by most to be the best for regular road cars although I wouldn't expect you to have any issues with their non-Iridium (regular) range or Bosch etc.

Ok, will see which ones the mechanic uses.
