    HT leads

    Thinking about replacing my old HT leads with some new MR T ones but they have been discontinued, does anybody have any new ones they would like to part with or does anybody recommend where to get new ones from.
    P.S must be the red ones.

    Thanks
    Jon

    You can get these

    Pricey yes but they do last a long time. My blue ones lasted for a while but began to fade in colour.

    Don't use Eurocarparts for anything Jon, they are toilet.

    Yes my mechanic wasn't to happy when I told him about using euro car parts, for example the spark plugs on their website that say they are suitable for a mk1 are not as I found out!

    Have ordered some parts from my local Toyota dealership and they gave me 15% off which all helps!

    Thanks

    Oh sorry the spark plugs didn't work either?! Did they screw in okay, your new ones I mean?

    The euro car parts website said they would be okay for a mk1 but when I fitted them they were part of the hesitation problem, when I took them out and compared them to the old OEM ones they were slightly different - so just orederd new ones from my local Toyota garage.

    Just to add some balance I bought a Bosch battery a few weeks ago from Euro Car Parts. They have an eBay shop with Click and Collect. Under £50 and no p&p as I collected the battery in person from the Harlow branch.
    You can check the correct part number here on this Bosch battery chart:

    (Interestingly the Mk1 and Mk2 use the same battery whereas the one for the Mk3 is more heavy duty).
