Default Standard ford HT leads................

Are the standard HT leads from ford for a S2 any good ?? The reason i ask is ive got some big chunky blue silicone ones on at the mo and sometimes they work loose from the dizzy cap, there a shit fit on the cap !!!!!!!! Ive pushed them on until they click but they just work loose. Anybody know how much the HT leads cost from ford ????

Bit of 'hooper glue' on dizzy end works wonders/just a tiny spot mind.

try cleaning out the dizzy cap connectors with some sand paper , they tend to corrode with time

rough up the plugsends with the same , open them up a bit with a longnose plier and push them in
