Golf off the road atm

Oops, i broke an ignition lead.

I was fitting some new plugs to the VR6 yesterday, and i managed to brake one of my leads, and get the spark plug socket stuck in the number 4 hole in the manifold, requiring some very talented wriggling to remove it!

Anyway, as some might remember, i not long ago replaced my leads, so damaging anouther realy sucks. Got a few quotes before i ordered them.

Repco, Pakenham:- $249.00
Autobarn, pakenham:- $85.00

same product, both topgun 7mm leads.

someone has a very big markup on there products......

In the mean time, i have to drive the yaris, as the leads wont arrive till midweek....

Just buy one the length you need from Supercheap. Change the ends over if they're different, or am I missing something here?

Christ I bought a new set of vag leads for the 8v for under a $100. Come on VR6 owners who's doin deals?

That sucks. There's special pliers made for removing plug leads by holding just the boot. They're pretty cheap from memory.
