decent leads are about £100
plugs are £1 each on trade club i believe
they're all parts of the ignition system
plugs ignite the mixture, and the dizzy components distribute the spark to the relevant chambers once that cylinder has compressed mixture inside it.

There's a few different caps depending on whether it's from an Astra or a Cav/Calibra. Different length turrets and stuff.
