• Volvo 340 restart 18 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  Hello, My G-reg 1.4 340 has been sitting idle for 3 months over winter. I've changed the plugs, leads and distributor bits but the thing remains dead. Flat battery I know but even when jump leads connected it only manages one turn before stopping. I disconnected one of the volvo battery leads
• Removing HT leads! 28 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  Now I realise that this shouldnt be a problem - but I need help! I am unable to remove the HT leads from the plug on a 1.4 Fiat Brava. I have read the Haynes manual, which basically says pull the cap off (but not using the lead in case of fracturing) I have pulled the cap as much as humany

• HT lead longevity - Audi A6 26 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  My \'98 Audi A6 2.8 85,000 is starting roughly on damp mornings [recent new plugs] - does anyone agree might be worth renewing HT leads? In previous VW/Audi cars they only seem to last about this long, yet my 24yr old TR7 [62,000m] works well on the originals [carbon fibre, not copper

• "Novelty" jump leads-any good? 19 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I was wandering around the car accessory department of a supermarket the other day and saw a set of jump leads that work from the cigar lighter socket. Are these things any good? I would be a bit wary myself but just wondered if any BR users had any experience of them?

  Experienced poor running since mid-March 2008. Dealer diagnosed that the coil pack needed replacing and replaced this on May 6th. Then diagnosed that the HT lead was corroded and needed replacing. They cobbled together a HT lead together from another car to keep the two running. I had booked

  My Fusion started to misfire at 1500-2000 revs - just fine at idle, and pretty much OK after 2000 as well ... all gears. No problems when coming down the revs. Garage put in new coilpack and HT leads (just had new plugs at service). This sorted the problem and the car was silky smooth
