Ahh, worry not. You've not paid excessive. Worst, worst case scenario you say 'ahh, bugger it, I'll just get me some of Keith's leads' as said, the leads you've got are effectively to be treat as a service item, so in 12 months you may feel it worth upgrading to some of the thicker, Keith ABS jobbies.  :)

Don't lose sleep over it, there'll be plenty more opportunities for you to spend money on your Omega elsewhere!

Which wouldn't suprise me in the slightest.... The reason I got the leads and plugs to follow and possible coil pack was due to misfire and uneven idle... Then discovering I have the leaky scuttle issue dripping water down the back onto coil ( possibly spark plug well too?).. Ive lathered the back of engine with wd40 and put a temp seal over scuttle join till I get time to remove and bung silicon on the lip... Hoping no permanent damage to coil already..

Ahh, good  :)

Have you followed the tip/trick/howto re: using black sealant on the scuttle? Mine had been left without a scuttle in the wind and rain for a number of years (yes, years) and so a new coilpack and sealed scuttle were definitely on the cards, and as with yourself, not missed a beat since.

Well worth getting some sealant down there if you haven't already, got mind for £1 a tube at a bargain bin basement clearance cheap n cheerful trade place up the road.  :)

I have clear sealant only but as you wont see it ill use that... The coil pack and leads I believe are original so they're in the winter of there years now so life expectancy is numbered.

Well my car's black, so obviously I have to use black silicone  :D It's not that I want to, I've got to, it's in the handbook.  ;)

Out of interest is it advised to only use " Bosch" coils when replacing?

Apparently 3 types of fitment for the electrical connector on the coil.. Is there a way of knowing what I have without taking old one off first? Chassis number for eg?
