I wonder why they last for 100,000kms in the Boxer engine?
My Service agent told me that when I asked him about them and he said by the time you pay for 1 set of Iridiums and you pay for the equivalent number of sets of normal plugs to reach 100,000kms there isn't a great deal of difference in costs. He also told me that Iridiums on a std boxer is no great advantage and advised me against putting them in, on a Turbo engine apparently they do make a difference don't ask me how they are his words.

Re: battery replacement
Pete,
There are 2 types of Iridium plus and the IX one lasts for 60,000kms and it offers more power than the other standard Iridium plug (which actually lasts for 160,000kms).
Don't think that Nissan Japan would recommend against them for the xtrail and the dealers in Australia recommend them too.
Price-wise they're indeed more expensive than the standard NGK plugs, but you get what you way for and personally I like to have the best in my engine

Re: battery replacement
So it happened to me today, you guessed it, flat battery just before leaving for work, how convenient. 
I chose the easy option and went for a Century 68 Ultra Hi Performance battery with 3-year warranty which Brett chose as well.
Got mine from the Century Battery Distributor here in Cairns. RRP is $147.70 although I didn’t pay that. Lucky for employer discount I got mine for $106.50, So there appears to be a pretty hefty markup on batteries.
It's installed and I'm amazed at how much of a difference a new battery makes, the exy even seems to have more power now.
