i wuz thinkin its time to **** off cos im ****ed and iv bin sat ere too ****in long agen
had magnacore for 3 years now, and with them coming off and on with the constant f in work recently thay are still intact and have never let me down. Expensive but well made, far superior to the standard crap. PS its a lot quicker to unbolt the coils then fit than trying to rub the rear of your hand off on the bulkhead

magnacore is the way.especially if you run gas.clip the wires well and avoid cross overs....

What's wrong with original leads ??
Why the need for non standard leads, K & N filters etc. when the originals last for years.

well for me , regarding the leads first , the aftermarket buget ones seem ****e, I had arcing on my 3.9 with bosch,mirrortech and lucas so it has to be genuine(which it now is) or better.
For my 72 3.5 I could buy another set of genuine for between £30 and £60 depeding on where from but they are only designed to last 2 years and carry no warrenty worth having and people have had some dodgy sets through form new as british oem parts are well know for being ****e, or I could get some magnecore for £70 direct and they come with a 10 year warrenty
I think it will be the magnecore this time
Oh and rgearding air filters I have just bought some coopers ones for the 72 but looking at the size of each carb and the size of the single air inlet into the airbox that must restrict performance as does it sucking hot air in form the engine comparment (I know K&N would do that too)
I am thinking of rigging up some cold air induction to match my full stailess tubular headers and exhaust when that goes on!

I changed from OEM to Magnecor (blue) leads a year ago - great improvement in both power and fuel consumption. Well worth the money and allegedly one of the best ways to prepare an engine for an LPG installation. I'm really happy with mine and hopefully, once I finally get around to advertising my Rangie, the new owner will be very pleased with them too, and all the other expensive add-ons!!!!!

You don't want to let it go do you! You'll still be advertising it next year at this rate. Then again, you'll probably keep it until you get bored and fed up with your X5......

Ok going for Magnecor as the Lumenition people in London have an answerphone on, they don't pick up, don't return calls and don't reply to emails.
Quick question: I've a '97 4.0 V8 Gems engine - I'm finding two product codes for 8mm Magnecor leads: 80142 and 80242. Anyone know which is correct?
Cheers!
