Personally I'd chuck them in the bin.

I've got mine sitting in the back of my toolbox. PM your address and I'll send them to you.

Hi I did try the iridium spark plugs with angled spark plug leads and the heat socks but my car is misfiring and cutting out.

Well, my plug extenders were all working fine. I just prefer the socks.

You sure it isn't dizzy cap or rotor arm? Or something else?

Check your existing leads are all seated correctly, i wouldnt go backwards to extenders personally. If the heat socks are ebay specials they may be next to useless and your leads have burnt up already.

It's important to make sure you haven't got a big air pocket in the lead boots, as it can pop the lead back off the sparks as well as the dizzy cap. Give them a gentle squeeze when pushing them on, and on the dizzy cap you can use a small tool (like a small screwdriver) to carefully tease the air out by pushing back up into the lead boot when it's in place and squeezing any air out.

Definitely don't go back to extenders. All 8 of mine are in a box in the loft.
