Anyhoo; it's in for a service (140K Kms) and I enquired about having the plugs done. The factory units are an Iridium [spelling?] plug and bloody expensive!! I was quoted $65 NZD each!! plus abt 1.5hrs labour to fit.

My question, what's the difference between platinum and iridium plugs, any pros/cons? Is it a simple enough job that I could DIY??

Cheers
Iridium is what I use in the SVX and that sounds about right as far as price goes for them. I would stick with Platinum if you wish, I don't think it makes a ton of difference but I could be wrong. As far as DIY, I don't see why a legacy would be much more difficult than an svx. I would attempt to do it myself.
