Anyone owned from a seller called formulapowerignitionleads on ebay.

Once you read past the selling pitch are they anygood? Sold enough and nothing terrible in there feedback.

The magnecore leads are around £89. The leads I have at the moment are pants no name and keep popping off the plugs. I can feel under load that the engine misses. One spark plug showed signs of what I think is arking... White power on the top of the plug and lead had popped off a little. Cheers

After my recent experiences, I wouldn't use anything other than the brilliant OEM Bougicord leads.

Super cheap on eBay at the moment too!

Thank you. Did you buy from this seller? No days there so many fakes online being sold. I even read about fake spark plugs.

I did buy from them, they're the leads I put on my 940 a couple of weeks ago. They're definitely genuine, came in the sealed Bougicord box and are superb quality.

I also bought the Bougicords from Mister-Auto but from their website, Those are 100% genuine Bougicord.

Bougicord are the supplier for Volvo and the there are some differences between the Bougicord branded cables for the B230 and the Bougicord cables that are supplied to and branded Volvo.
The differences are the cable itself which is a cheaper version than the Volvo branded cable and the Volvo branded cables have porcelain insulators which the Bougicord cables don't have.
The Bougicord set includes all 5 cables and a set of Volvo cables includes only 4, The cable between the ignition coil and cap must be purchased separately.
I would never use anything else than Bougicord or Volvo cables on my 940

i THINK i put these leads on my car although mine are grey in colour,,,been on a year or so with no probs,,,time will tell. nothing wrong with the originals from what i have read though, i just thought i would try these to give the spark the best chance (theoretically) !

I think a bit of spring would be better then what I have, Surprised how the OP managed to build a car with larger turbo / injectors ect yet run a burnt out rotor arm and cap and no name leads. Even missing the nuts on the spark plugs. Fair enough I got it for cheap. He did a good job in most respects.

Yes. Great leads and if your running a different coil or anything like that then just message him and he can change ends or lengths to suit. Really helpful and great quality leads in my opinion. I ran mine with 320bhp with zero ignition break down.

Thanks for the review. I had a look and found nothing bad really.
