Post by: The Barge Captain on 26 January 2008, 14:18:50

Any recomendations as where best to get a new set of HT leads from for a V6?  and how much to expect to pay.

you can get a cheap set for around £80 or main dealer quality leads
(but not from the main dealer) :y for £180 from L.M.F VAUXHALL.

Just looked at Bosch silicone ones on e-bay for £45 delivered from Powersparks.  Anyone had any experience? (of powersparks / ht leads)

I would rather advice you to look for NGK or Beru.
NGK is good quality for a reasonable price.
Beru is most expensive but as this is Vauxhall supplier (Beru name is on genuine VX leads) will last for min 10 years.

I've heard many complains about Bosh leads and fancy spark plugs - VX engines just dont like them and leads last max 5 years. the only good product that can recommend is the standard GM sparkplug, but even though many people claim that NGK plugs runs better, especially on LPG. I haven't tried yet :(

I bought a set from Euro car parts, they have branches all over the UK. Cost £27 for a full set, have had no problems on standard 2.5 V6.

Barge Captain, euro car parts is next to Filton railway station.

Patchway Autoparts do a Bosch set for around £50, have worked well for me.

Probably the same as the e-bay ones.  Good to hear no problems.

What was all that about?  Far to hammered to remember.  At least i kept away from e-bay last night.

Anyway Paul - that was what I was looking at mate.
