Ignition Leadsle

Hi
Have been thinking of changing the Leads on my 1.4 Micra
it has been running OK but on its a bit uneven, I've cleaned out the T/B and changed PLugs & Air Filter
So would the Leads make a difference ? Their Bosch I think they may be the original leads from new

always worth a shot you couldnt do any harm by changing them, how old are they?

If you have a mutimeter then you could test the resistance of the leads, i cant remember what they should be exactly but someone will and if one is alot higher than the others you will know that is a problem. also, check the condition of the rubber insulation. i went to a hyundai(sp) that wouldnt stant the other day and the rubber had gone brittle and was litteraly falling off the HT lead!

Hi
Thanks for the Replies
On a couple of the Leads the letters have mostly worn away.I noticed when it's idling the Revs dip low and come up
not by much they stay around 500 but if I switch on the Headlights or Heater,
They will rise slightly then settle back. Don't know much about Car electrics so not sure if thats normal or not.
Thanks again
