So does that mean if you Don't route them properly they will be????

well dunno, but the disco manual goes to great length to show where the leads run.
it's totally hypothetical after the little plastic lead jiggers are all kangaroo edward.
and i am not game to look under the bonnet after dark.

G'day Folks

Yes, a cross fire in the Rover V8 can be very expensive, I can not remember exactly but if one of the leads cross fires with No 7 when it is at 180deg it can snap the crankshaft now is an expensive bang
a rover trained Mech should be able to enlighten on that.
