Jumped in the car this morning and set off to work driving along not a care in the world when a realy strong smell of burning plastic starts to come through the vents. Oh fu*k so I pull over and stop at which point smoke is pouring out from the bonnet so out comes the fire ext and I slowly pull up the bonnet thinking I'm going to get a face pull of flames. Turns out one of the plasic bits that keeps the HT leads apart has fallen onto the manafold. How can such a small bit of plasic make so much smoke...... confused Anyway now off to get new pants and a strong drink drink

It might be worth getting some magnecor ones as they are supposed to stand up to the heat better.
I've had mine in there a couple of years and they look fine. They also have a 10 year guarantee
