Forgive me lack of knowledge, been advised to change these on our focus and told we should go for the official Ford ones by RAC mechanic. Is there any truth in that or will non ford ones be ok?
Cheers

some patern parts have reliabilaty issuse, short life span, loss of power, i had a 1.3 escort 1992, tried patern parts but had problems after 1000miles ish. fitted gen parts all good. you get what you pay for! lucas should do leads for it?

if you go to a decent factors they should have them in and you can try them there and then. i have had probe in the past with cheap sets not clipping down properly. but that said most are fine so i guess it must just be differences in brands.

It's just a run around car, popped into halfords and you can get leads and the plugs for ~£60 total. Genuine Leads and plugs from Ford will be over £100
