Think my plugs are on there way out so im gonna get a set along with some leads. Is it worth spending out on decent ones or should i just get whatever my local Motorfactor has in stock? If not what do u recommend? it a n/a zetec with head,cams,upped compression etc

cheers

 

I did have splitfire plugs & leads on and was told they were shite (the leads came apart on me so they were right ) so on my MK6 escort zetec I was advised to stick to ford original leads and just your standard NGK or champion plugs so hope this helps you out unless the tuners have different ideas

 

cheers for ur input mate.

One place has offered me Denso plugs and PowerTec leads and another has offered Bosch leads and NGK plugs. Take it the Bosch and NGK's are better?? will they actually make a difference??

 

Not sure about that mate dont really know much about them as I posted a similar post about plugs and leads about a month ago so hopefully someone else can read this and add a bit of their wisdom

 

BTTT cause need to know b4 lunch really

 

i'm in the same boat as u mate. I need sum goods ones ASAP

 

If I was to commit mate I would go with ford leads and the NGK's but i'm no expert just going from recommendations really but also heard good things about bosch so hopefully this helps you out

 

yea it looks like im gonna for the Bosch leads and NGK plugs cause ive never heard of the other makes so that cant be good

 

proberbly a good choice mate

 

NGK do 3 types of plug for the zetetc:

PTR5A-13 - Platinum tip now replaced by PTR5A-10
PTR5A-10 - Same plug but with 1.0mm gap cos the 1.3mm gap ones weren't lasting.
TR5A-10 - Standard copper core plug. Cheaper but wont last as long.

Platinums about Ł5 each Copper about Ł2.50 each.
Bosch leads probably as good as it gets!

 

stick to for leads mate, nout wrong with them

 

i went and got the bosch leads and NGK platinums. They also gave me a good price on some Mondeo V6 discs and pads so i grabbed some of them and can finally fit me cossie calipers

 

Nice one mate

 

Ford leads are always recommended.

As for the brakes, bad news mate - the Mondy ones are way too high unless you've ground the caliper mounting brackets down by 3-4mm.

What do u mean the mondy calipers?? i got some Cossie calipers that TJ was running on his Si so i know they will go on and as i understood it Mondeo V6 and Cossie discs and pads were the same??

 

I've just ordered a set of HT leads & plugs from Ford 2day i get em 2morrow

 

carnt go wrong with ford leads mate

 

cheers. Henry & his goodies will do me

 

ive got lumenition 8mm silicon leads on my 2.0l with ngk plugs, not sure which but it began with PT....
