Spend the extra money now and get the Magnacores. You will not need to replace them again. Rovers eat cheap wires and you will be replacing them again soon and then spending the money on Magnacores. Plus, it's not one of those jobs you want to do repeatedly if you do not have to. I did not need to remove anything, but the bent screwdriver was very useful. Do a search on plug wires here and you will see numerous posts where people replaced multiple Accel, Rover, Store brand wires after a very short time.

about $90.00 including shipping for Magnacores

X2 on the +4's. They are great and the Disco's really like them. Not the regular platinums, or +2's, the +4's. They are worth the price. When combined with new Magnacors, I noticed a little more bottom end torque.

Default magnacore

Is there any benefit for going with an 8.5 mm over the 8mm wire, or the 8mm should do the job just fine?

8mm is fine, they fit in the wire guides (although tight) but I think 8.5mm will not fit in those guides.
