It was still running / pulling fine right up to the point that it wasn't so I'm wondering if the "aint broke, don't fix" approach is right on this one.
The plug change interval on this car is 100,000km which is pretty high. They are called out to be replaced for a reason so suggesting that it shouldn't be done because they take actual effort to change is pretty dumb IMO.

100k km interval for plugs is not long. For Honda's, it's 105k miles. I agree waiting too long can kill the coils. Maybe there's a happy medium. 100k km seems too short when so many guys can reach 100k miles no drama.
