Morning all. I had a slightly eventual journey on the m25 at the weekend when the right side spark cable decided to detach itself without warning. I’d just filled the car up so initially thought the pops and bangs might be due to overfilling the tank. It was only after continuing to drive that I realised I was running on one cylinder which was a bit hairy on the motorway. Fortunately I managed to peal off and the first thing I checked gave me the answer. After plugging the lead back in I was on my way with no further issues apart from a yellowed right exhaust.
Has anyone had the same issue? Is there a trick to making the cable stick or should I just get a new one? Thanks.

Buy some high grade Magnecor leads (per the alternative parts list)...our change to decent leads and a nipped up top to the plugs was triggered by having the same problem a few years ago...was certainly spectacular having unconsumed fuel burning in the exhaust!

Available on eBay. or via Krazy Horse. You can probably get them faster from KH as they usually have them in stock. I believe the eBay ones are made to order so may take two or three weeks to arrive.
