• Tipo won't start with plug #3 on ... 13 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  Removed lead 3 and put in in place of lead 4, leaving cylinder 3 with no lead. Car starts and idles OK on 3 again, so lead 3 is OK. Swapped plugs 3 and 4, and tried again as above - only will run with 3 disconnected, but proved that plug 3 is OK.

• Suzuki T250 - Suzuki coil - HT lead connection 5 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  Please does anyone know whether the HT leads can be simply unscrewed from the coils on this bike. The old ones have been cut off halfway to the plug cap, so an extension will be needed if the original leads cannot be disconnected from the coils.
• H T Leads - replacement? 20 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  A friend of mine runs the same car as me 1996 VW Golf VR6 and has recently fitted new plug leads. He tells me that the car runs much better with improved throttle response and power as a result. The leads on the car are original VW leads and are marked as having a resistance of 5 K ohms. I have tested mine with a meter and they all give a reading of between of 6 and 6.3 K ohms.

• Lead weights 3 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I hear that shortly, lead weights will not be allowed for balancing wheels (obviously only when changing tyres). Is this true? If so it is nice to know that the European parliament is so concerned for our health.

• Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI SE DSG - Plug Leads fault 18 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  My 2011 Yeti  EPC warning light came on, engine running roughly and went into emergency programme which allows travel at 30mph only. Skoda dealer checked and found a failure of plug lead 3.  Quote for fitting new leads,  £300 for Skoda parts, £200 for alternative manufacturer, supplied by Skoda Garage. Took the cheaper option. Noted that the new leads are now fitted with extra sheathing for heat protection.
• HT Lead - M Reg Ford Fiesta 14 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  The RAC came out to fix it and said my alternator needed replacing which has been done. The car still won't start, on another call out to the RAC they say it is the lead that connects the alternator to the battery that is corroded. What is this called? I have had a guy look at the car who says it is an HT lead but another guy days it is something different? Basically I need to know if this is a big or small job and can I buy the lead myself?

• Brake shoes - a general question 16 May 2008 (Forum)
  This is a general question about terminology. What is a leading shoe and a trailing shoe? My theory, and I may be well off the mark, is that the leading shoe is where the piston pushes on the leading edge of the shoe and the trailing shoe is pushed on it's trailing edge.

• HT leads 21 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  Why are HT leads not a service item? Had the Mondeo (1999, 50k miles) serviced on Saturday and mentioned to the man at the garage that starting on wet, cold mornings has been a bit hesitant. He changed the leads and it's different altogether.

• V6 HT leads 8 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  The leads are all numbered so I know the are correct in the plugs (and they are all different lengths, so can only fit one way). The leads are 1,3 and 5 on the front block, 2, 4 and 6 on the back. However, on the dissy, the leads go in a different order.
