Griff spark plug shrouds.

How often should these be changed. Got 8.5 Mag leads(looks the dogs) but should the shrouds be changed as well. Foxhall dealer wants £70 for 8. Sounds expensive to me.

Should be able to get them for about a fiver each plus vat etc. Try RT racing 0114 281 7507 (formally Wedge). I have been told they are not always needed and a freind has removed them on his V8's with now problems of burnt HT leads, but get confirmation this is ok first!

Total inc VAT £31.73.

Even new shrouds can cause problems,you could have a look in the Demon Tweeks catalogue at the heat resistent plug/lead 'Boots' I used these to cure misfire that new shrouds didn't they seem to give the lead a better contact and more secure fitting to the plug.Look great too.

These are early 90s Vauxhall service items - so do what I did - find a long established Vauxhall dealership and offer to take some of their old stock of their hands cheap. Be glad to get rid of some surplus stock at a couple of pounds apiece. The part number should be stamped on your existing ones or take one with you.
