I had changed several things apart from the leads thinking that they didn't seem cracked, sure enough as soon as I changed them the car ran perfectly again lol.


new bosch leads have been ordered, shall fit on car when they arrive in post and keep you updated on outcome. Fingers crossed. Cheers mate :thumbs:

Same happened to me a few years ago, car would splutter and hesitate on occasions. It was moisture getting into the old leads and messing with the ignition until the car had warmed up properly and evaporated the moisture.


Thats sounds about right mate, thinking about it, it only happens when engine is cold. Going to get leads replaced then. Cheers

Whilst driving my car the past 3 weeks ive noticed its missing a beat/juddering when accelerating. Say for instance ive just changed up from 2nd to 3rd and revs are building it judders. Spark plugs are a month old and leads arent lose, isnt a major problem but would like to solve the issue before worsens.
