  • Jump leads advice wanted 7 Jan 2002 (Forum)

  • Mondeo HT leads 15 Apr 2004 (Forum)
    Just changed the plugs in my Mondeo (2000W), and want to check the HT leads are ok as the car has now covered 103k miles. Is it possible to do this by measuring their resistance with a common multi-meter? If so, what value should a lead not exceed if it is in good condition?

  • Tipo won't start with plug #3 on ... 13 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    , but read on.. I cleaned out the distributor cap, and WD40d it and the leads. Still the same. Started fault finding, so took off plug lead 4, the same. Took off lead 3, and it starts, funs and idles on the other 3 very happily. Put it back on and it goes horribly lumpy and stops. Removed lead 3 and put

  • Suzuki T250 - Suzuki coil - HT lead connection 5 Sep 2021 (Forum)
    Please does anyone know whether the HT leads can be simply unscrewed from the coils on this bike. The old ones have been cut off halfway to the plug cap, so an extension will be needed if the original leads cannot be disconnected from the coils. Many thanks :-)

  • Lead weights 3 Jun 2005 (Forum)
    I hear that shortly, lead weights will not be allowed for balancing wheels (obviously only when changing tyres). Is this true? If so it is nice to know that the European parliament is so concerned for our health.

  • Brake shoes - a general question 16 May 2008 (Forum)
    This is a general question about terminology. What is a leading shoe and a trailing shoe? My theory, and I may be well off the mark, is that the leading shoe is where the piston pushes on the leading edge of the shoe and the trailing shoe is pushed on it's trailing edge. Correct? Does

  • HT leads 21 Jan 2003 (Forum)
    Why are HT leads not a service item? Had the Mondeo (1999, 50k miles) serviced on Saturday and mentioned to the man at the garage that starting on wet, cold mornings has been a bit hesitant. He changed the leads and it's different altogether. Runs smoother and picks up better as well
