    Default VT Series 2 3.8L

    Hi I have a VT Series 2 3.8L I have been having alot of problems with resistance with my leads to my spark plugs. Basically it feels like the leads arent tight enough for the plugs. 2 And there missing all over the place. The set I bought was top gun they are only 6 months old not even. Can anyone advise me of a good brand of leads and plugs and has anyone else had this particular problem? Thanks guys.

    Bosch, closest to genuine without the price. you really need to push them on hard until you hear the click. shouldn't have any wobble whatsoever.
    I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere

    They are actually all clicked on but are definitely loose no doubt about it they spin around in a circle quite easily around the plug. How much do bosch go for at supercheap or something ?

    i wouldnt worry too much , if they are clicked on and dont fall off then its sweet, ur problem could be the plugs or a faulty coil

    i use topgun and have always used topgun in all my cars and never ever had a problem, you might just have a dodgy set, it does happen.

    No MSD coils are a waste of money, unless your running some ultra higher boosted turbo setup there will be no difference. Maybe try running Holden leads?
