Typical - Got the car sorted, went out for a blast and halfway I noticed that it had got lumpy between 1 & 2k revs. Had a look under the bonnet & I can see a spark from one of the leads.
Anyway, quick question - Can I get a replacement Range Rover one at Halfords or do I have to get some magic special one from my TVR garage? May look into these Magnecor ones in the future, but right now I just need a quick fix for the weekend.
Cheers

Any ignition lead the right length will do to keep you going.

I put some magnecor 8.5mm ones on mine, It does seem to run a lot better now.

Had a look under the bonnet in daylight - appears that the lead had come loose from the 'bit-that-goes-on-to-the-sparkplug' (!). It was a bit greasy and I guess that with the new stiffer suspension it make have come loose when driving over a rough surface.
Anyway, having re-secured the lead all is well now. I think when I get home I'll tighten the connection up a bit so that it can't slip off.
Cheers for help anyway guys.
