  doesnt catch. Now i think this is related to the HT leads or distribution cap as i can see some of the insulation coming away on the HT lead near where it connects to the spark plug.

• You, experiences, leading or trailing edge? Cars 14 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Are you `leading or trailing edge` re cars and in general, why? In other words, do you buy the new models straight off the production line or wait and buy later? What life experiences shaped your stance on this? Both with cars and other technology? Ever been `burnt` by buying at the leading edge

  Maplin currently have an 'Emergency Jumpstart and 12V Power Supply' unit (essentially a 12V 17Ah battery in a box) for £20, and since it also contains a compressor, thus removing the annoying part where you have to trail the lead around the car from the lighter socket, I wondered if it was worth
