    Apparently they had problems with the old leads they used to sell but now they have different leads and no dramas

    Hi,
    I had issues with my leads only recently. I had some of the orignal leads burn out at about 55,000km replaced them with Eurospare leads. Eurospare is what alot of places are putting in, so I have been told. I had the plugs all replaced with platiums and the had the Eurospare install and after 5,000km they were burnt out. I found that the mechanic didnt bother to adjust the gap on the platium plugs and they were out to something like 3mm. This ending the life on the leads as well.

    I then ordered some 8mm(think the 8mm were $7 more than the 7mm) Magnacore leads from the company in Sydney (google magnacore for the info) and had the leads set for around $150 from memory. I replaced the platiums and went with Bosch super 4's.

    No problems to date and it costs alot less that OE. Have a look at magnacore as they are used in motorsport applications and other high stress suituations.

    Hope this helps.

    I went platinum's too but went for the bosch leads on special $5 each from supercheap!
    Had them about two years, they have been very reliable.

    Make sure u compare apples with apples.
    If the Rovacraft ones are now good the yes use them I would.
