Can someone donate me a no.1 cylinder HT lead...

[Ben Lessani]

I managed to pull the wire out of the socket on my spark lead and I hate having to buy a new full set @ £12, when the rest are brand new already. Oh, and there isn't a single scrapyard in the whole of central Scotland that has a MK2.

Can someone help a brother out!

Sorry dude, don't have any spares about. But if you do buy the full pack, at least you will have spares for the future!

why don't you fix it? it happened to me too on a new set of cables and i fixed it with no problem. just takes a bit of nerves

[Ben Lessani]

I didn't think it was possible to fix it because the metal bit is crimped and I managed to tear the wire clean out the top. If there's a way to fix it I'd do that - tell me the details...

And I did the same last year, yeah I didn't learn my lesson, and I threw all the spares away, *gutted*.

i just changed my leads & my old ones were fine! If your stuck just holla!

its no biggy. just uncrimp that metal (gently ), put it apart, pull out the socket, push the kable throughout the hole where it was, reconnect the socket on the wire (you'll have to peel a bit of wire cca 1-1.5cm) and with some pliers push the socket in position. don't pull the wire again! then just put that metal back on and crimp it back. viola! it won't look as good as it was...

[Ben Lessani]

I shall give the repair a bash then...

@ nunny
don't throw away those cables too soon, i'll still have them off you, i live in glasgow, where are you, i only need the longest lead, should post with ordinary mail, i can paypal some £ over to you for p&p

[nunny]

you can buy individual leads from halfords and other motor factors.
