Title: Recommended plugs, leads and dizzy...
Post by: jackanoryboy on 03 March 2005, 17:38

Hi

I own a 8v Anniversary which is running like cack at the moment. I noticed that one of my leads is sparking on the dizzy cap, so i'm going to replace the offending items. Question is, what are the best plugs, leads and (i know it's only a bit of plastic) dizzy cap to get?

Cheers!

Standard kit will do the job fine.

I don't suppose anybody knows what the gap should be for the plugs?

I think they come preset from the factory, if only they'd put themselves in  :wink:

It tells you the spark plug gap in the Haynes manual...

It 8mm gap for the 16v, but not sure about the 8v. Hope it helps!

last service they put some platinum tipped ones in (they last longer) and since that the car seems to pickup nicely!
