Can anyone point me in the right direction to a set of coloured (Blue) HT leads for my 2.9 S3??

Whilst I'm at it - anyone know where I can get blue silicon hoses (various diameters) from?

Cheers

PS. Many thanks to KeTVRin for popping by on Tuesday night to put my mind at rest with regards to how my car was running - trust you made it out of Wakefield OK.

Hi Jaye

it was a pleasure to meet you and your motor mate... its a beaut !

Magnecor leads are blue I believe, (ebay) Hoses are available from TVR Carparts and ACT (I think ) around £160 a set...

good luck with your sprinting etc

Thanks for that - the leads are blue - now (me being thick again) which set do I need - I've found 2 for a Granada 2.9 V6 but both state 1995 onwards and mine is 1991???

Don't suppose you know what the equivalent part number is?? Or will the 1995 ones be OK??

Cheers

I think the difference relates to the end fittings and the length of the coil to dissy lead, and not the performance of the lead itself... see here:

you have female posts on your dissy so make sure you dont get the leads that fit the male dissy posts

I hope that helps as I'm not an expert at ignition leads

Thanks for the link - will work on it.

By the way - hose to the air filter now gone & small filter fitted. Just working on cleaning the ISCV - not looking too dirty though when I opened it up.

Will give you the update after I finish with the spanners tomorrow - here's to a weekend under the bonnet biggrin

Cheers

I just noticed the ACT ad on the forum flashing images of magnecor leads... kind of subliminal eh ?

give them a try - will do your hoses too I think

Afternoon Fellas,

Give Tim at ACT a call - I got my blue magnecors and blue silicone hoses from him and he is a very helpful chap to boot - oooh and my shiny stainless manifolds if your feeling flush.

Cheers
Graham
