Looking to give the Scala a sprucing up in the ignition system area soon, and I'm wondering whereabouts people have sourced replacement HT leads in the past. I need a full set, including the king lead, and it'd be nice if they're silicon rather than rubber. Coloured would be a plus, because I'm a tart.
On the same note, I bought a replacement dizzy cap from GSF recently and it's not particularly brilliant - the plastic moulding around the contacts seems a bit rough and poorly made. Does anyone know where I can get a genuine Bosch part rather than OEM?

Re: Replacement HT lead set
I've had bosch dizzy caps from GSF in the past - what did they supply? I'd also happily use Beru.

Re: Replacement HT lead set
I have some leads from Dubpower - http://dubpower.co.uk/HT%20leads.HTMwasted wrote:Looking to give the Scala a sprucing up in the ignition system area soon, and I'm wondering whereabouts people have sourced replacement HT leads in the past.

Very happy with them and their service - they replaced one which had corroded contacts within 12 months, without question.
Re: Replacement HT lead set
Mike - the replacement unit is actually a Beru. Surprisingly poor finish internally.
Pete - just the job! And available in blue, too ;) Thanks!

Re: Replacement HT lead set
Get a new dizzy cap from the dealer along with a new rotor arm, they still sell them.
I replaced my HT leads with Bosch items, no issues what so ever.

Re: Replacement HT lead set
Nate - they're sold by ECP aren't they? Are they standard black leads?
Ian - good to know they still stock them. I'll place an order at the weekend. Any idea how much dough I can expect to be parted with?

Re: Replacement HT lead set
There are different types so you are best off taking your car with you and letting them take a look. I paid about £11-12 for the cap and about £5 for the rotor arm, well worth the money.

Re: Replacement HT lead set
Sounds pretty reasonable for proper kit. Thanks for the heads up.
