    Golf off the road atm

    Oops, i broke an ignition lead.

    I was fitting some new plugs to the VR6 yesterday, and i managed to brake one of my leads, and get the spark plug socket stuck in the number 4 hole in the manifold, requiring some very talented wriggling to remove it!

    Anyway, as some might remember, i not long ago replaced my leads, so damaging anouther realy sucks. Got a few quotes before i ordered them.

    Repco, Pakenham:- $249.00
    Autobarn, pakenham:- $85.00

    same product, both topgun 7mm leads.

    someone has a very big markup on there products......

    In the mean time, i have to drive the yaris, as the leads wont arrive till midweek....

    Just buy one the length you need from Supercheap. Change the ends over if they're different, or am I missing something here?

    That sucks. There's special pliers made for removing plug leads by holding just the boot. They're pretty cheap from memory.

    Might save you some dollars in the long run.
