I was looking at these from the same shop, seem good, they well thought off in USA. Yet there English company. Price wise beru are 115 from euro car parts and my new boots sit slightly higher, and the cables are shorter then the old beers that were on there. Only reson I went with beru was that they were there next day, we're as the mangcores are made 2 order.

One day my boot head cracked. I though it must be tighter due 2 the heat from engine, then on a cold day 2 off the 4 plugs snapped off inside the spark plug chamber. And the king ingestion lead snapped in the dissy cap!

My adivce would be not 2 try and remove till ur going 2 replace.

i've been told on the service that 1 of the leads has a crack in, so i'm replacing the lot. i've come across these:- http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/35 ... -4058.html anyone use them here and are they any good? any other alternates to suggest? cheers, Al.

Is that price purely for the leads, does it include end caps/plugs ? Rich

The website mentions that stainless stel snap lock connectors are used for the spark plug ends so I presume this means the leads come complete with connectors, if so a good price, I have not seen them used on a Porsche before but I have seen them on modified cars so I cant see why they would not work.

How Re u enjoy the car? i wont remove til i'm going to replace, or rather the garage wont. i'll get them to do the air intake hose whilst they're at it, along with the belts loving the new car matey, and cant wait to get all the niggly jobs done. the service is complete, the rear plastic screen is booked in on the 18th of oct, and then the belts. after that, alls done. i'll wait until next spring for the other little bits as they're not essential. its had a paint cleaner, polish and wax and all the better for it. it looks beautiful now. the interior carpets need a good once over and the leather cleaned, but that'll be done whilst its in bed in the garage over the worst bit of winter.

www.sparkplugs.co.uk have them for about the same price, although not sure what their shipping costs are in comparison. They also offer the higher spec KV85s for £80.51 +VAT, which is what I went for on my S2 . Get some pugs to go with them at the same time, as they are a good price as well . Phil

Keep us updated. U going 4 a colour or just black leads? A another job I would add. Is if your seat hasn't already got rips or heavy wear beoned saving, swap the seat backs over. Help even out the wear and prolong the life off ur seats, as the worn bolster from entering and exciting the car will be replaced with the inside which hasn't seen any wear, unless this was already done

i'll probably go for coloured the interior of the car is great, no wear on the seats and carpets in great nick, just need a clean really.
