Not the uphill kind I hope -
Bloody right. He's roped me into putting some new discs and pads on his motor tomorrow. Talk about killing the old ones off first!!!! -
No your coils will be fine. All coils generate a reserve voltage in excess of that required to cause a spark at the plug. Its called upon when you accelerate for instance as youre putting more fuel and air in and the extra fuel could 'quench' the spark as its termed. They are generally a better quality lead than the OEM but if youre not having any problems hang on to yer money as the improvement would be hardly noticeable. -

Cant see the inside of the leads but some of these use solid copper wire instead of the resistive type leads. Solid is better but does have the disadvantage of creating radio and tv interference unless resistive caps are used to counteract the copper cored wire. If they are resistive leads then they sometimes have a lower resistance to the voltage created by the ignition coils. Personally I would only bother if I had replaced the coils with higher output ones (they have a different turns ratio on the primary to secondary windings) or had a faulty lead.

My sons 1.8 petrol Focus uses the good old fashioned chain instead of a belt. -
Just watched it again. Amazing group of all time greats. Brought back a lot of memories. Brilliant! -
Dont know how many miles your mates Focus has done but on my Focus (1.6) the belt is warranted by Ford for 100k. Had it changed last year at 74k tho'

Generally Chad white smoke on start up is cold unburnt diesel/poor combustion (cylinder walls will conduct heat away) Can be caused by glazed cylinder bores causing poor compression. Could also be sticky deposits around rings Worn rings will be blue smoke Just thought. White smoke can also be water leaking into combustion chambers. This should be noticeable by rapid water loss and maybe overheating.
