  • Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 25-4-2015 25 Apr 2015 (News)
    Probably wise to have another change of brake fluid, or at the very least get the airlock or moisture lock pumped through. Should be okay on Superunleaded (definitely not 'Premium' unleaded) but you could use an anti valve seat recession lead replacing additive from someone like

  • Galaxy VW V6 HT lead shock 21 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    The first shock was the price, the second the amount of hassle/sweat involved in fitting the new leads. Car was misfiring, sprayed water on leads in the dark and noticed some arcing near the leads. After a couple of hours, starting from left to right managed to change 2 leads on the inlet
  • sainsbury's lead replacement petrol 24 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Sainsbury's lead replacement petrol is 97 octane and only 2p more than 95 lead free. Could this be a poor man's Optimax ? After all Optimax is only 98 octane. No other retailer sells lead replacement for such a low price. is is OK for cars that need lead free ? Cheers Peter

  • Alfa TS HT leads 1 Apr 2001 (Forum)
    At some time in the past, during a service at an Alfa approved garage, a number of HT leads have been damaged (I know this sounds dodgy but I have enough circumstantial evidence to believe it is true). I've tried to get hold of a replacement set, but Alfa can only provide a "Power Pack" at £500

  • Omega HT Leads 26 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    Hi, Is there a 'real' reason why HT leads for the Omega should cost so much (As you may know they are manufactured in 2 sets of 3 leads, each set costing £75, ex VAT, thereby incurring a total cost of £176.25 incl VAT to replace the 6 leads). I am aware that you can get 6 leads which will fit
