Default Return your wires!

I went to the LR dealership because I had a coupon for a free maintenance check. My check engine light has been on and the mechanic said that I needed new plug wires. I told him that I ordered some aftermarket wires and he told me to cancel my order and I really should get the LR wires from them because aftermarket ones don't work well with these engines. So all of you that have ordered Magnecors and Kingsborne wires need to return them and spend $300 on the LR wires. My Kingsborne wires should be delivered today.

I also found out that my disco just recently had the u joints replaced. Less work for me.

Kingsborne - Good job. I almost spit my latte out through my nose when they told me how much OE wires cost. Now, get the right plugs as well. I go with the OE champions NLP100320, but there are many different opinions on that, with the Kings many have the bosch plugs

Typical response from a dealer, seal you his extra expensive wires, that will last for 50K or so and fail instead of installing a lesser priced wire that you most likely will never replace.
