Ok so whats the best and your opinions.
Seem to be three main ones kicking about
Magnacor, Splitfire and K1
My standards need replacing due to some water damage so might invest in a set if its worth it.

genuine beru leads are great. thats what they came with as std. probably better than most aftermarket ones.

Price isn't so great though
I just use Halfords ones, £32 iirc but about £18 on trade card

should mention i use magnecor ones on mine. only becuase they were cheaper than beru ones, and also red which ties in nicely with the colour theme of my engine.

I agree about the quality but I can't grumble with these Halfords ones, They do the job well.

I've never had a problem with them before, Had about 3 sets on different engines and all lasted until I got rid of it. For the money they're spot on.
I just remembered I had a set of K1's which went faulty on my old XE, Was just leaving Blackpool when it started running on 3 cylinders. Turned out one of them had burnt out

Magnecor leads have a lifetime warrenty iirc. Give them a call, iirc they will fix/replace them for you.
