Title: Spark plugs and H.T. leads .
Post by maddshooter on Oct 14^th, 2004, 12:34pm

Hi All ,

A while back there was some advice about good quality H.T. leads and where to obtain them . Also about the same time spark plugs were discussed and various prices and suppliers given . I can't find the article so please can anyone help . Mine is a 2.0 Ltr 16 V engine .

Regards , Madd .

Hey Madd,

On the two litre there are two coil packs with plug connectors and two specific leads which are designed to fit the Scorp. As far as I am aware there are no accessory fit leads, but Fords cost on leads only is about £8.00 each.

Interesting to see if any body has alternatives.

New leads sorted my misfire which was one of the messages which got zapped during the Florida Hurricane.

These leads are available from my local Macess, much cheaper than main dealer. There must be one near you. john.n ;)

Only Ford leads will do.
Try NGK BKR6EKC sprk plugs,last twice as long.

I've just had a quote from FordPartsUK for my Cossie. HT leads are £11.76 + vat each. I too would not use any other make ;D.

In reply to your

SSD is 'semi surface discharge', a technology which is supposed to keep the plug cleaner and improve performance slightly.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Should have mentioned,the plugs are twin electrode jobs. Halfords stock them.
