Default Leads????????

Guys,
Dont want to flog a dead horse on this one but is there a set time that plug leads should be replaced at?
My AU3 XR6 has 140000 on the clock,can be hard to start,idles a bit rough and is fairly thirsty.
Injectors have just been cleaned,plugs replaced,fuel filter looks brand new.
I am looking at a set of jmm extractors and might go with their leads as well.
All ideas and opinions welcome.
Cheers,
Snoz

Something was wrong with mine (approx 90,000km), producing staggered lines on the dyno. JMM replaced them with the ones from their DEV kits for VCT and all was fine.

it can't hurt to replace them, it wouldn't do it any harm
