I need a bit of help, i have got some good oils, filters and most of things for a good service except spark plugs. I was thinking of getting bocsh super 4 plugs. What would be the best to fit if not the original?

Those are the right plugs for the ca. I would run them at 0.8 as the coils get weak with age. If you still having problems you can gap them smaller till they run better but I would then look at new coils. This is assuming spark is your only problem.
