Hi we have an 11 year old Ford Ka ,we have had it from new its really low millage ,i had to buy a set of leads from the dealers they cost £121 for 4 leads cant even buy a set ,had to buy 4 separate ones ,all that for an 11 year old car ,

HT leads? Did you try a motor factor? £121 for a set of HT leads seems a tad expensive.

Only the genuine ones seem to work ,the cheeper ones break down,its the position of the plugs,down at the back of the engine ,its the heat that affects them ,also the plug end of the lead is sprung loaded and if you pull them off it damages the end ,so not good at all

If it costs that much I can see folk scrapping the car for the sake of 4 plug leads?

and there have been a lot of KA'S scrapped due to rust !!

my daughter had a 55 plate KA design from new and it seemed to rust at an incredible rate?

ps shame because it was a cracking wee car

We call ours Nelly lol ,due to part of its number plate ,its got a bit of rust but not to bad ,but without and doubt its probably the best car we have ever owned ,easy to park ,easy to drive ,brilliant heater ,never failed an mot,we use it for shopping during busy times ,put the back seats down and its got a huge area for godies,i take the dog out in it ,go up the skip and dump rubbish , so i hope Nelly keeps going for a lot more years,

This compny make the best HT leads and checking their list the most you would pay is £71.80
