My car will be getting above service soon , is it advisable to renew the tensioner as a precaution??. Also one dealer is telling me the spark plugs get replaced with this service and another dealer is telling me its the next??

Yes, I always get the tensioner done too.

Spark plugs are changed at 60K miles for your car (assume it's a UK or Euro car).

yea i just had mine done and was told that 9 times out of 10 its the tensioner that goes not the actual belt - unfortunately as the tensioners b#####y expensive but cheaper than a rebuild!

Don,t pay dealer price,s mate. You can buy the belt and tensioner for £230 from import car parts.
