Afternoon chaps,
Looking to purchase a set of standard Bosch HT leads as I cooked no's 5&7 on the exhaust manifold.
Going to replace my rotor arm and distributor cap at the same time.
I would be grateful for any linkys to reputable sellers.
Much appreciated!

You wont go far wrong buying from here, postage can be high so make sure you order all you need in one go.
Don't think the leads are bosch though.

This ^^^^ Forget paying the TVR tax. Genuine Bosch leads which I have got ready to fit tomorrow from the above seller.

eBay seller £26.51 delivered genuine Bosch.
Racetech want £58 delivered (8mm silicon)
Powers Performance want approx £70 (8mm silicon)
TVR Parts want £27 + delivery for "Lucas" leads - wonder who makes them?

So i went ahead and bought these, the kit does not include the king lead though, does any body know the part number for the king lead or point me in the direction of the correct bosch part?

and no, the ebay seller i bought the kit off was utterly useless and could not even confirm if the king lead should have been included or not.

I bought a set which had product number 0986356831 and included the king lead. All fitted with no problems.
I've just had a quick look and the same seller sells those - see here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-Range-Rover-...

Perhaps you could swap them? They're cheaper than the other item so you probably won't be out of pocket after sending the others back.

The link you put up is the same seller, it looks like they have given me a load of B/S.

Is it possible to buy the kink lead alone?

What you have bought is the lead set for a GEMS Rover v8 as fitted to the P38 Range Rover, these have coil packs so only require leads to each spark plug, no dizzy so no king lead. It appears the supplier has sent you what you ordered. Suggest you return the item to the seller and order the correct lead set for a V8 with distributor.

Thank you, that makes sense.

I apologise if my link misled you. You should have no trouble returning the item as the buyer is king on ebay even if you have to open a case.
