I would stick with good quality Bosch ones. I did try some coloured ones from a well known supplier of ignition accessories located near Droitwich, and they lasted less than 7 weeks before failing. So buy decent quality......

even in my Chimera i used "standard" Rover ones from Lucas. the set cost next to nothing and i had no trouble in my 2y ownership.

It was this supplier I had problems with. I also had a coil from them fail within weeks, so I will be avoiding them. In addition I did buy a V8 dissy off them, supposedly suitable for a 350i, and the vacuum advance curve was so far out I eventually gave up and replaced it with a good second hand unit. Not my favourite supplier.....

Wouldn't just Land Rover V8 HT leads suffice? Many people pay big money for some certain brands of HT leads, unnecessarily IMHO. smile

Due to the coil location, a longer king lead is required. The standard Rover one isn't long enough.
