I've bought stuff from them and it was fine although the PAS belt they sent me was too short  :undecided:

Always put OE leads on a Digi 8v, they seem to run rubbish on anything but the pukka VW ones. I've had sets of GSF and ECP ones all cause missfire problems from new.

what about high temp leads with good insulation?

i say this as the daily has an ongoing thing with pinking. replaced the knock sensor (torqued correctly) and had it setup as per the guide but to no avail. i cant afford to have the head taken off for a decoke.

They do have the metal heat shields on them but if it runs that hot it might be worth getting a set that are made for very high temps  :undecided:

the current leads are bosch and have heat shields too, but im unsure as to their age. the plugs are new. had 3 sets of plugs in 18 months and doesnt make any difference which brand i go for.
