I developed a mis-fire, and on inspection I noticed arcing between one of the leads and the cam-cover, would new leads solve this?? Opinions please.

John - I have a spare set I'm sure in the shed if you need a set.

Ditto - I have three spare leads you can have - I will bring them to the tech day if you're going ?

Thanks for the offers guys, Frank..i can'tget to tech day so I've gone and ordered a new set of red ( NOT PINK ) ones from mx5parts. I wont be using the car for a few days so I'm not stuck..Thanks again lads

Def a HT lead problem. Sounds like the insulation has gone brittle and cracked
on one of the leads. You should be sorted with the new ones.

New leads installed, problem sorted.

Now, what'll go wrong next??

Hi John,

Some good news. How'd ya like to loose your PINK image?

Watching 'Wheeler Dealers' last night they were working on a Porsche 924 and I thought of you - yes, a good deal of the car was a lovely shade of PINK, but that didn't bother old Ed China. Paint job Ed? no way man - just some workshop compound, RED T-cut an angle grinder and a big buffer pad.
Ed was right, you want to see the finished article - so red you'd think it was a Ferrari. So there ya go John - problem solved, that's when you get out the old angle grinder etc.

Dunno Tom, the pink thing has kinda grown on me, sure what would you guys be able to slag me about if I got the car back to red??
