There's been lots of discussion on Range Rover forums about these leads. Rover V8s running on LPG are extremely fussy about ignition: everything has to be exactly right or you can have all sorts of problems.
So, to get to the point, most of us have tried different leads, all looking for the best, and the general consensus of opinion is that Magnecor are no better than any other GOOD QUALITY leads. They look very nice, but they are very highly priced just to look good.
In short, I wouldn't bother!

For a standard engine - standard leads are fine !

Thanks for advice.It is anything but standard.I just wondered if anybody else had tried these.It has high energy electronic ignition.

Well - that too is quite unnecessary except for very highly modified engines ! Standard spark ignition copes very well (and is easily fixed at the roadside) up to 90 bhp. But - no harm in having it provided you don't get tracking in wet weather.

Car has 88bhp so it is a worthwhile mod.I just felt that with everything else top notch a set of Chinese leads from the local motor factors were a little out of place.

Very odd! Any chance it's someone in your home - or at work if you access the site from there ?

The problem appears to be that I tried to load a second photo onto my profile which pushed the first one out into the ether.My computer is at home so I can rule out somebody else.Whoops :oops:
Sorry to all those who ended up with my traveller on their profile.
