4.6 thor engine ignition leads

p38 1999 · Jan 25, 2010

my first post.... think i've done it right

hi, does anyone have or know what the exact length of each ignition lead is in mm for a 1999 4.6 thor engined range rover? and what number lead corresponds to what length? i've just bought a set of 8 leads. they are not numbered

. obviously i need 4 for the right side and 4 for the left side of the engine, i thought they would be the same length on each side, but they are not, one lead in the pair is slightly shorter, not by much but noticable. so i wondered if anyone had the lengths of each lead and there corresponding number so i can fit them as they should go.
any help or suggestions would be much appreciated....
thanks

Hopefully you have slim hands as they are tricky to get to at the non-plug end. Are you doing the plugs as well? They are platinum's in that engine (£££££) unless you use standard ones (£) (like I will next time around).

hello, yes was planning on changing one lead at a time, but just wanted to make sure these new leads i have were the right length as they are ALL different lengths. so i could send them back if thay are wrong. and yes i've recently replaced the plugs with new ngk platinum ones thanks.
i'd be furious if when i started to change them i had the wrong ones. so thought i'd do a little forward planning first...
so any idea on the lengths for the 8 leads.
thanks again

Might be a stickler for detail and someone who records every last detail of parts that they have fitted on here to a file on their PC....but I doubt it...unless someone proves me wrong!!!!

As has been posted, the majority just change them one at a time and check them side by side as they go along

Take the cheapo rubbish back,go to the LR dealer and buy a real set - they have the numbers on there to help you.

.....and they'll not deteriorate so quickly as non genuine ones

i can get a set from LR for £50 + vat thro someone i know. ended up buying some that are apparently better than magnecor if not on par with them for £100. wanted to give them a go. looks like i have no option than to take out one at a time and measure them up before fitting. the whole point of wanting to know the length was because i didnt want to start it then find out i had the wrong ones.... oh well
