Does anyone have a set of HT leads, distributor cap and rotor arm for sale for a 1987 2.5 8v lux?

You need new ones. Got mine from German French Swedish. You could also try Euro car parts. Then when you have a price ring Declan at JMG http://www.jmgshop.com/ & quote the price Euro gave. They will beat it by 10%. Not too expensive for the 8v. It's the S & S2 that are ruinous.

Cheers JJ

I've just cleaned the pitted contacts in the distributor cap and the rotor arm, new plugs and she fired up first time

But yes, I'll phone Declan and see what he says. Thanks for that dude

I changed the dizzy cap and rotor arm around November / December time on my gold 944. Cost about £60 all in from Design 911. HT Leads seem to be extortiate at about £100 for a set, the last time I looked.

Ht leads are about £40/60 for a 8v and 120/-150 16v. Had 2 replace mine as they fell 2 bit with my last spark plug change. Which were 16v brue.

If u can wait a week mangerncore seem 2 be a good upgrade and are cheaper.

the beru dizzy cap and rotor arm cost me £25 from euro car parts late last year. bosch one was listed too but more expensive.

On the HT leads (8V) - from where? and are they genuine parts?

Gfs, or euro, have them about that price for 8v. Deff worth changing if they not all ready been.

Leads are £36 from GSF & are genuine. Cap £21 & rotor arm £15. (Bit steep considering it's size.) The 16v models are nearly £100 for leads! Replaced the lot on mine including the coil. Gave instant horse power. The '44 is very sensitive to ignition.

16v leads were 115 when I got mine in November.

Thanks for that Don't think I'll be ordering parts through design 911 again, well, certainly not ignition parts.

Don't forget the club discount for GSF! 10% from memory.

I don't need any at the moment but thankyou for the heads up I will certianly be looking at GSF for parts in the future

£50 for a rotor arm from OPC !

Ouch! Thats a bit steep for a tiny bit of plastic........
