+AD4- It's caused me grief trying to find somewhere decent to fit the coils.
+AD4- I've ended up with them at the front of the engine roughly where the dizzy
+AD4- was - and neither Mondeo or Escort leads are quite long enough. The
+AD4- longest run is about 1 metre. I'd also be happier with new matching
+AD4- leads - and to buy two sets ain't cheap.
+AD4-

Try Fiesta leads, MK 3-4 ?.
It's what I've used on mine, they were longer than Mondeo ones...

Just looked in Halfords and they're nowhere near long enough. The maximum
length I need is 1 metre. The coil packs are offset to the right (offside)
of the engine, and that's the run to No 7 cylinder.

Don't do 8mm resistive core.

I must admit to being surprised that neither they or Vehicle Wiring
Products did - perhaps there's no demand. ;-)

Is there anything here? All I can see though is 3K/ft

http://www.magnecor.com/

There is a UK distributor listed and they say they will supply just the cable,
but advise against it !

Given the prices they charge for made up leads, I'm not surprised. ;-)

I've actually found out the spec for EDIS leads courtesy of a forum. Seems
the minimum load is 5k. Many just use plugs with resistors and copper core
wire. But they may not be too worried about blotting out TVs...
