When converting to LPG does anyone have a preference for manufacturer or type of HT Leads to be fitted or will a new set of LR ones do? Have read about a few cases of "tracking" etc...with old leads and wish to try and eliminate this.
Rob,
Magnecors are usually the weapon of choice :-) Pricey tho - but they do have a lifetime warranty. I've killed 2 - but to be fair I wasn't exactly being nice to them (or the engine) - submerged it in Tixover mud ......
Thanks,did you go for the "8mm" or the "KV85"?
Magnecors are expensive, but there are US suppliers doing them for $70 plus $14 shipping to UK. Just about to order a set myself, as I foolishly got a set of 'Lucky Golden Hedgehog' brand ones off fleabay and they are sh*te.
Cheers, Chris.

f*ck me, they cost more than that here.
personally, I'd go with the 8mm ones - fatter ones won't fit the various clips etc.
Yeah I know, that's exactly why I just ordered them from the States !!! Agreed, 8mm are the ones to go for. I just noticed that the OP was on about L322 leads (the title of the post should have given it away really!) $75 is for P38 8mm Magnecors.
Cheers, Chris.
I should have stuck my head under the bonnet before I asked, the plugs are connected to individual coil units by a connector. I shall wait until after the conversion to see what happens as I suspect the connector and coil unit, as a package, will not be cheap and I don't fancy replacing 8 on spec. Perils of the 4.4 engine I suppose.

Badger can advise about these - he's got one in his disco.
A BMW 4.4? Are you sure Austin? Silly me - I forgot the L322 runs off coil packs :-) My own L322 is of course slightly different again, having the Jag
4.2 SC engine under the plastic cover.On or around Wed, 24 Jan 2007 09:30:06 -0000, "Neil Brownlee" enlightened us thusly:
erm, no. snot a 4.4 it's a Thor 4.0 V8. but it's a similar ignition setup and may in fact be the same coil packs for all I know, it dates from the right period in LR history to be using common BMW-source parts.
Having had the chance to look at a catalogue this morning both the 4.4 and 4.2 sc have the same combined connector and coil unit, just changes with a change of V6A No. The 4.4 DOHC has a separate connector and coil unit.The price for a combined unit was nearly £50.
