MG MGF Technical - 24k service up

a week today my 1.8i goes in for 24k service and was wondering what will be done on this one,i have upgraded ignition leads to high performance ones,and was wondering about my spark plugs,will these be changed on this service?i would like to upgrade plugs anyway and know id'e have to pay the extra,one more thing,at Silverstone this year i bought Mike Satur's life saver cam bolt kit,dont know why because no way i could fit them,think i frightened myself into getting them as read so much about hgf's on here,thought id'e better get at time, i was wondering whether to ask the mechanics while working on car if they would fit them,is it big job?or best not ask ha!anything else should look out for on this service your advice much appreciated thanks Dave T6 DCM.

You don't say how old your 1.8i is.
I would guess that it's two years old at most (hence the 24K service).
There's not too much to do on the engine - they probably won't touch the plugs, or the cam belt. I wouldn't ask them to do any extra while the car's under warranty.

They should replace the brake fluid, and you may want to check the condition of the pads and discs yourself before it goes in. You can always ask them to return any replaced parts to you so you can see that they are worn.
