Default Lucas HT Leads - 09-06-2005 , 03:06 PM






I've seen Lucas HT leads for my ford escort zetec engine, going cheap on
ebay, & as mine are 8 years old (original mototcraft still fitted) I thought
it would be time to change them. Are they any good?
How do they compare to bosch? (I'm confident with these as they cured the
backfire problem on my last LPG escort).

Thanks

Dave

Anything other than original Ford Motorcraft leads on a Zetec are a false
economy.
Yes, even bosch...

Crap.

Use only genunine Motorcraft, Bosch, or Magnecor.

What about Lumenition? I have just fitted an expensive set of pretty blue
transparent silicon ones to my LR Disco V8 on the assumption that they are
amongst the best. I hope to convert it to LPG soon and it was a bit of
forward planning along with new Lucas distributor cap and Lucas rotor arm.

They're a conductive bit with an insulating bit round them , they're not
rocket science.

Magnecor are the bees knees when it comes to plugleads.

Thanks for all the replys, decided to go for the motorcraft. The price
wasn't as bad as I thought £30 inc VAT, not bad considering halfrauds own
make are £27.99.
