HT Leads

#1 Post by alangraham »

When should I change my HT leads?
I've a 1500HL.
The same leads and plugs have been on since I got it eleven years ago and I don't know how long they've been on before that. I only do a few hundred miles each year.

11 years for plugs, blimey that's some going - I always changed plugs every 2 or 3 years back in the day and still do with my classic.

Doing that with some of the latest ones fitted in new cars would be costly though.
