If anyone is familiar with the show and the trade stands - perhaps they
know who is best to visit for shocks for a 93 range rover and some top
quality plug leads for the v8
Thanks

no idea if they'll be at billing, but the usual answer for plug leads is:

Overpriced and unnecessary for most, if not all, applications in my opinion.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the genuine parts plug leads, but
steer clear of some of the cheaper lead sets on the market, some of them are
just plain awful.
The main issue with the leads is embrittlement of the plug ends (due to
localised heating from the manifolds) causing a partial breakdown of the
insulation resistance, this will effect even magnecors under extreme
conditions. The magnecors may well outlive the std leads by a factor of 2:1,
but they are over twice the price so the figures just don't add up, in my
opinion.

The OE ones may be OK, I've not actually tried 'em. Magnecors are way ahead
on quality of components IME - I've tried champion and bosch and they're
both crap by comparison. The OE ones are probably lucas lumenition aren't
they? mostly good kit.

Nice touch on the magnecors was a set of indelible labels with numbers on
'em. OK, not essential, but it shows attnetion to detail. I also found
they were better for length than other makers' sets.

I'm assuming you get summat different under the Bosch label than we do.
The leads Bosch supply here seem to be a very good product.
