It was only the 2wd leads that gave any corrosion issues (for some) I believe Kev.

Yep, remember the post (Karl's), just thought it was only the 2wd leads due to the angled ends.....and for the record, I agree that the genuine Beru leads are the danglies

nowt to do with the engled ends bill, its to do with the terminal connectors between the dizzy cap fitment and the lead itself becoming corroded as they are effectively a 2 part lead (utter shat design or what? )

not in this hp catagory at all but my car hated 909 leads at over 2 bar, now runs std beru with no issues

Bill is still correct in that the only leads afflicted are the early angled caps.

Escort Cosworths dont use that old fashioned cap

Denso plugs are fine too, IF of the correct heat range!

Kev, as Stu pointed out (cos on reflection I wasn't too clear in my post), I was ONLY referring to '909' 2wd leads, NOT the Ford Beru 2wd leads.
