Standard engine, apart from the Magnecor leads @ £90 a set plus shipping, any body have any other recommendations for leads?

Thanks

From you Stig, all your answers are sarcastic !! wink

When I had the headers changed on Friday, one of the leads broke. It's got a new standard Ford lead on at the moment that Stick kindly gave me to get me home. Car ran fine on Sunday.

Just wanted peoples thoughts on weather super dooper leads are good for another 20RWHP and are only the way to go or just stick another OEM set on.

Many thanks for the kind offer Stewart but I'm OK for now thumbup

Aye mostly sarcastic with a hint of saveyousomemoneytightnorthernbds.com in there as well. Stick to OEM for plugs and leads, magenecour if you want some fancy colours (oh and if you want a real upgrade, copper tip plugs too = less money but change more often
biggrin cheers for the info.

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?
Not yet but will do, was just trying to get a price for OEM leads but at the moment the Magnacor ones are looking the best bet !

Magnacore are spot on
Especially the box they come in with the name of the girl who made them inside
I see from the description on MF, that they are individually numbered, does it matter what order they go on?

scratchchin Just over £80 for 8.5mm
^^ This. I got a set of Magnacor from Monkfish in a rush and they work just fine. No more misfires.
Just ordered a set, at just under £90 delivered, they appear a bargain !
