HT leads

[Frenchda]

Had them replaced last year. One of them keeps coming off even though it is a tight fit. Dodgy HT lead or something else? Answers on a postcard please.

I had this problem..

Because the rubber was new I would connect it to the dizzy cap and literally watch it creep back up and pop off!

After repeating the process a number of times and nearly throwing the whole lot in the bin and putting the old ones back on; it eventually stayed on.

I think you need to stretch the rubber ends until they grip rather than pop off..

Persistence..

Just my experience; please take into account I am no mechanic and there is probably a more helpful solution!

I always slide the end up the cable slighty and ensure the connector is a good fit before sliding the cover back down and never had a problem.

This is what I did too

Are they Magnacores?.. mine used to pop off the plugs all the time!.... your ment to get the air out when you put them on but try as i might, the odd one would pop... Ended up cutting about 8mm off the bottom of the plug cover bit.. they have been fine since...
