shail 0 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Ive got a set. Can't really give a comparison from OEM as they were totally fukced hence the replacement. One probelm I had was arcing on lead 1 of my magnecors. The set was replaced free of charge by them though, so no complaints here. Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I bought a set of Magnecors a couple of months ago. Two of the spark plug boots have split, another one fits the spark plug way too loosely (a known problem, apparently) and my plug lead removal tool wouldn't fit them properly until I filed it down (it worked fine with standard leads).The manufacturer said the problems were all due to fitter's error. I told them I've removed and refitted the standard leads dozens of times without any problems. Didn't want to know. Charged me £15 for new boots and they split again 3 days later.Also they don't fit the runners in the engine covers unless you cut off all the retaining lugs, and if you do this you can't refit the standard leads.Steer well clear. Go for good quality standard ones instead. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Not had any problems like you have Nick, I know a while ago, Magnecors introduced a new "revision" that had better fitments for the spark plugs.I've had mine on for over a year, not had any split on me, and I was able to use the Spark Plug Removal Tool to get mine out, but I do have a schrick which I have to remove, which obvously gives you a better view of what you are doing. It it possible you may have purchased an older revision with poorer fitting connectors? I do agree that the runners, but I only have that problem on the runners above my coilpack, the schrick hides the rest Pete Link to post Share on other sites
c4mbl 1 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 go for some middle of the road ones from claire mate. Ive got a set on mine and have had no problems at all. She only charges £30 or so for them and in my opinion, work wonders. Link to post Share on other sites
