Ok, position so far.

Euro Car Parts, do not sell HT leads for the VXR8 full stop, they told me Dealer part only.

Price from VX £158.40 inc VAT !! yikes

Monkfish do some 8mm leads for a bit over £90 IIRC. Have you spoken to Walkinshaw, as your car has been looked after by them?

That's because they don't list the VXR8 but if you go onto one of the aus or yank forums and ask what the OEM parts are for the leads they will tell you. Or you can measure them. They are just standard items

I am sure there is a company who shall remain un-named who would beat the price... you would probably end up with some heatshrunk speaker wires mind you nicely packaged in a Magnacore box.... wink

I'm thinking of getting some just cos they look nice!

I'm sure you know what you have and sell, but all I can find on your website from the LS3 drop-downs is these

http://www.monkfishperformance.co.uk/ht-lead-set-t...

Maybe a link to the 8.5mm ones is also needed?

I see from the description on MF, that they are individually numbered, does it matter what order they go on?

.....Or you connected them all 180 degrees out on a Triumph Toledo, then wonder why it runs so lumpy when you eventually get it to fire. banghead
