Bargain Tim

About £25 for the std fit Bourgecord item from GSF or sensible citroen suppliers

hi tim,
that is no surprise!! cheeky fuc*ers!!! ( erm yes sir thats 20 quid for the brake discs and 154.90 for the pins) that companys prices are the reason they dont sell the parts!! then they give up selling them and we buy them much cheaper from some motorfactor.
you know i went to halfrauds yesterday and they have stopped stocking all bx leads, caps and arms etc. they were one of the only places round here that did the ducelier origional cap piece for about 30 quid. now i will have to order them in in future.

cheers rossco

Do the bourgcord ones have the rubber stoppers on the tops to stop watering getting in? If so Ill get some ordered and a new rotar arm too.

I had a extra bonus in my wages this month over a couple of bags of sand, so im sure I can fine ways to waste most of it on old citroens!

I ordered a set of Magnecor 8.5mm leads for the phase 1 a few weeks back, and they came to £68.74 including VAT and delivery from Malvern.

If you want the details let me know - you won't ever need another set of leads for the car!

Hmm thats a bit too much really chaps, £30 is fine but £70 is going a bit OTT.

Can't remember Tim if the Bourgecors have the bung or not but the Mag certainly do not

Can't recommend the Mag leads enough, certainly worth the money

Did they really make a difference then?

Post by **Toddman** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 5:21 pm

The std leads are ok but they are much less resistant to arcing because of moisture than the Mag items and the Mag items will last indefinitely whilst the std ones have a limited life.

You get what you oay for - I think most of us lkong time valver owners use the Mag leads
