Title: How cheap is this????
Post by: john1dart on 26 May 2007, 20:30:49
I've been getting the parts ready to do a service and the breather and rocker gaskets on my 2.5 v6. Up until yesterday it looked like I was going to have to pay the cheapest quote of £78+vat+delivery for a set of spark plug leads. Late yesterday afternoon, I took a stab in the dark and visited a local accessory shop knowing that he wouldn't have them in stock or be able to get them in time for this weekend, not to mention he would charge the earth. Well he didn't have them in stock, but he said he could get them with in the hour. "How much mate?" £30 was the reply. "What make?" Bosch was the reply.
I nearly took his arm off. Brand new set of 6, Bosch, £30. I nearly bought in bulk to punt them on to you lads.
If anyone wants the details, they do mail order also, i think.
Does anyone know of a cheaper price????

How much did you pay? I got mine from a place in Birstall. Apparently it a motor factors with branches just in W. Yorks.

They used to said bad kids to Birstall. Then the namby pamby brigade came along and now they give them all ASDAs instead.

Edufication. Marvellous.

That's a bargain price and the Bosch leads look good quality too. I just can't find anywhere that sells them.

However I've missed my window (just done the rocker gaskets) so I'll see how I go for now.
