chrispy Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Afternoon all, the title really says it all. The time has come to renew my aging HT leads and I was wondering which ones I should replace them with. A set of Bosch ones from Halfrauds or something else? Any recommendations would be gratefully received... Oh and it's a 1992, 3.9 V8... Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 On a budget, use genuine ones (Bosch / Lucas I believe, Bosch being preferable due to not being Lucas ) If you've got more cash to splash, Magnecor are superb - but then they blummin' better be for the money! Avoid bling ones with lots of advertising / claims of massive BHP increases, they're usually b*ll*cks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 http://www.beamends-lrspares.co.uk/BeamEnd...tion/index.html If you scroll down you'll see the ignition leads lucas £15.27. RTC6551G I have the same car and these leads seem to do a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastcard Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Read on the RPI site (usually with a pinch of salt ) that you shouldn't use resistive HT leads with resistive plugs. The Land Rover Originals that I have borrowed from HfH have no mention of being resistive whereas the others I have (aftermarket) do. If the RPI spin is correct and I have understood it correctly then if you have NGK BPRES then you need non resistive leads. If no R in the plug then you are OK with either. I would wait until a grown up confirms this before basing any decision on it (I would be interested to know as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Another Vote for either GENUINE (they are decent Quality and also equally importnant FIT properly) or Magnecor leads Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101nut Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Read on the RPI site (usually with a pinch of salt ) that you shouldn't use resistive HT leads with resistive plugs. That is correct - non-resistive with resistive which ever way around. I used Fastlane Auto (on the web) - good leads at a good price. In my experience much better than Halfrauds Bosch and they replaced a dodgy set of Lucas which were no longer recommended as a replacement by my local Lucas dealer due to too many complaints! I think the Lucas had better sealing plug caps but you can't have everything without spending £stupid. AndyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispy Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Thanks everyone, I might just go for Magnecor, just need to work out whether to buy the 7mm or 8mm ones. I don't think the 8.5 racing ones are required for the old girl Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastcard Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 8mm seem to be the most popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
