Not sure about those particular leads, though it is always good for your motor  to have a decent set.

I would be sceptical about some of the claims. A good set of leads makes all the difference and they DO deteriorate with age. Given how long a set of plugs is supposed to last I nroamlly do plugs, dizzy cap, rotor and leads at the same time but They may well last a lot longer. I would have to see a sample of the cable to say anything on them though.

I've used 8mm carbon cored leads on my Min, and it runs much better that the copper cored leads, therefore 10mm can only be better. Mind you, I have got a fairly hefty coil fitted as well.
More juice, bigger spark, more bang, lots of loudness!

Magnecor will set you back about £85 nowadays, hunt round some local garages though as I picked a set up for about £65 last year.  Be careful for some reaosn magnecore htink the coil on a Land Rover is bigger than normal so the boot doesn't fit that well and lets tham down.. They are highly rated for LPG though.

As for these, I'm tempted too at that price.

The Magnecors are good, let me tell you, and Dennis are Rover Renovations is a top bloke, but you will pay a little customs, just a little.
