Good morning all,

Does anyone know where I can get a like for like set of HT leads for my chim? They have the ceramic 45 degree end on, hopefully see the image attached if it’s worked.

I can only find these that I think will fit but have rubber ends so not to sure if that would then require the heat shield boots?

I have an electronic coil pack with the ECU upgrade that came with the car so any advice would be welcome on what to do.

I don’t necessarily think they’re broken but it’s been running abit rough at idle and rich and I don’t think they’ve been changed since the ECU was installed around 2017 so I think it’s probably worth doing to keep it in good stead.

Many thanks again
Reece

I have the same ones (Mr Retro Leads) on mine but I've put heat socks, I don't know if it's necessary or not, but I prefer not to take the risk for what it costs.
They are working fine.

The ceramic ones are made by Accel and are available from various suppliers, not cheap though. Most stick to the type you listed but its personal preference really.
There are a lot of threads regarding plug leads and heat socks etc here, I quite like the ceramic ones as it kind of eliminates the problem but some say left too long with out removal they can seize on the plug, so just something to bear in mind.
Maybe a bit of silicone grease would help every now and again but its likely to just burn off.
