Mondeo HT Leads & plugs

You are lucky you don't have a s6 Carlton, over 100quid from Vx. However I would give Nebo Ltd a ring on 01243 536313 who will make up a set up for a lot less. They even do the long ceramic sections if your leads have these to reach the plugs. Very good quality as well!

Sounds about right. I changed the plugs and leads on my old Mondeo in the summer and IIRC the leads were about £28, plugs were about £5 each plus the dreaded VAT. It was still cheaper than Halfords and the local motor factor though.

I bought plugleads for my Mondeo a few months ago from a Ford dealer in Glasgow and I am sure ( receipt is in the car) that it was something like £26 that I paid....plugs I bought more recently ...Bosch they were ..maybe £3+ each ??? ...say £40 in total.. Stuart

I paid £51 inc for Motorcraft plugs and leads for my Focus (1.6 zetec engine) last month so your quote isn't too far off the mark. I don't think its too bad when you consider the plugs last for 40k miles and the leads 60k miles if you are lucky.

I paid £11.80 for four Motorcraft "platinum" plugs, recently, but the list price at our local dealer is £5.83 each +vat (ouch!) The leads were fine and didn't need changing ;)

I bought a full set from Ford a couple of months ago for £42, the cheapo set I bought before that were causing a slight misfire at idle within 2000 miles.

What does HT stand for?

TIA!

Hight tension.

The message from "Krycek" contains these words:

Hurts Terribly.

High Tension.

Meaning high voltage. On Mk2 Mondeos meaning very very high cooks your leads in 50k voltage.

Don't know the origin of the term though.

Pete,

Does it ever!

I once pulled a lead off my motorbike while on the move. I was groping for the choke lever but got it wrong and pulled the lead off. My hand tightened around the lead and I wasn't able to let go until the bike stopped. Luckily it was a single cylinder so it stopped fairly quickly.

Yes, its safe to say that it Hurt Terribly.

Or the bloody engine stop tag on old Suffolk punch lawnmowers

It's the old vernacular for voltage, bit like calling the capacitor on the points a condensor.

The message from Paul Giverin contains these words:

You're me, you are. Wet night, DT125, soggy gloves. Ugh.

The message from DuncanWood contains these words:

Oooh, I remember doing that as well! I took it apart when I was seven - Dad wasn't 'arf upset.

Yebbut its the sort of thing you only do once innit?

That depends how much you enjoyed it the first time!!!!!!!!

Like sticking your hand up under the washing machine when switched off and grabbing a big round thing which turns out to be a capacitor...lol Stuart
