Best way of replaceing Ht leads ?

i've had a quick look and can sort of reach from over the top.

or is it better to install from underneath, would i get better access ?

I managed to do mine just with the bonnet open from the top, you'll end up with scratched hands but it's perfectly do able.

Though no doubt it's easier if you can get the front up on a ramp or stands and then get at it both ways.

Garage did it for me for free and just charged me for the parts.

It's amazing how far a good pair of Bristols will get you! They're almost legal tender in garages these days...

Ok after the car not starting for the past three days and me almost totally Flattening the battery I decided it was finally time to do these.

I changed the leads, plugs and Temperature sensor and first turn of the key and she Brmmmmmmmmmm into life :)

Couldn't believe it as the battery was vertually flat.

Well done that man. :clap:

I've had my youngest daughter to change headlamp bulbs on my old 400 to avoid the "little cuts all over the place" - she has tiny hands, but is now older and wiser (stroppier anyway :))
