HT Leads

[RhinoV6]

Recently replaced battery ...old one was the wrong rating and died VERY slowly causing much confusion and dark thoughts of how an ....alfa would look on my drive . During the long confusion period I nearly got some new ht leads but had to backout as am currently running in a new wife and the dreaded ticket was approching.(which it duly failed)

<div align="left">Car is now better than before!!! but would changing the 13yr old HT Leads still be worth a punt, if so any advice would be most helpful.

It wouldn't hurt to change the leads, give the engine a new spark of life [img]/smile.gif[/img]

And welcome to the club.

check resistance of the leads with a multimeter....

i put the values on here or mig a while back

[RhinoV6]

Good idea with the resistance check thing will do, but the back three are going to be a bugger to check. I could get some £20 jobs on ebay and just stick'em in but £20 seems too cheap, has anyone tried a set?

[cornishtaz]

Not tried the cheap ones and welcome to the site good to see another V6 nearby. I've got to change mine at some point as the car has a slight stutter underload, unless it's my coil pack breaking down.

[T.F.S.]

The cheap ones have far higher resistance than an old vaux (BERU) lead

to check ignition strength order a spark tester (£5?) from highpower 01302 834343

if there is any interest i can do a group buy on these...no mechanic should be without one!

what HT leads would you recomend??? i interested to know.

also any recomendations on spark plugs?

[Rusty_CallyT]

GM or bosch (normal) plugs and whatever leads you can get, not the cheapest but then no need to throw cash away either bought the beru vx ones last time i had any

[T.F.S.]

plugs- NGK (allways!)

leads - std good condition BERU or magnecor 2nd best(i have magnecor 2nd hand at £50)
