Hello Everyone.

Need to know if there is an easier way to replace the HT LEADS on the DISCO LR II 2001 without removing the upper inlet manifold assembly
Thanks

There is a procedure outlined in the forum if you search where you can replace spark plug wires without removing the manifold but it's a real pain (started it, then changed my mind) , however you can't get the wiring neat and completely off the engine block without doing it the long way. I took it to the local shop that specializes in land rovers, brought him the 8mm kingsbourne wires/bosch plus 4's and he did it the dealer way. It wasn't more that 2 hrs of labor and it was done right and super neat. Well worth the expense.
