Mogs Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Quoted close on £150 from my local ford dealer for em. Plugs were only £4 each plus vat, but the leads are £27 odd each plus vat. Have you guys used aftermarket ones without problems? If so, what make, and where from? Cheers fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy woodbridge Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 My old mechanic (and personal friend). Used to be a Ford mechanic. He told me to always use genuine ford plugs. At the time I was a mature student so was skint, so used to help me out as much as he could. However with plugs it had to be proper ford ones.

Mogs Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks for the links Eddie, but they're not original Ford items which i'm led to believe are best to go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie eastwood Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hi Mogs I have had no problems with NGK spark plugs or a set of plug leads that I have bought of eBay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogs Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 I wasn't referring to the plugs not being Ford items, I was referring to the leads 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Quote I have heard people say that poor quality leads cause the coil packs to fail earlier. I don't know if it's true or not. What is the problem with your existing leads? I wouldn't replace them unless there is a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogs Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Actually nothing at all mate. Cleaned the Air Flow meter and all is well with the world.....until today, but that's another story 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Have used leads from a local shop here costing £30 with no problems whatsoever, in fact they cured a very light misfire I had. As to the brand name, not 100% sure but could have been ‘Intermotor’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
