The fuel filter is integral to the pump in the tank, it's not a service item. I have the proper ngk iridium plugs in both Ermintrude and Zebedee. They are not cheap like 20 odd quid each not cheap but they last well and haven't given a single issue.

Slow starting is unlikely to be a plug issue. As long as they are Iridium, the Bosch plugs are absolutely fine and there is no reason to change them out before the standard service interval. If they are nickel (non-iridium) then they will also be fine but need changing more regularly.

45quid sounds a bit too good to be true for 4, be sure you are getting what you need an not a knockoff.

^^^^^^ I agree, plenty of counterfeit spark plugs out in the world, so get them from a reputable source. They even rip off the cheaper plugs.....
