Lucas Classic High-tension leads to keep your V8 healthy

Lucas Classic launches high-tension leads for early Rover V8 engines

IF YOUR OFF-ROAD WEAPON

happens to be powered by a 3.5-litre Rover V8 engine, it is by defi nition a classic. Or if not, a bitsa. Either way, to ensure the old lump keeps on powering it, rather than turning into an expensive form of ballast, Lucas Classic has a constantly developing range of parts designed for older Land Rovers.

Available through Britpart, this is all about the sort of stuff a vehicle needs to keep running – especially in the electrical department. Hence the latest introductions, which include high-tension leads for the much loved eight-pot.

Available separately, there’s the single lead from the coil to the distributor and then the eight-strong array going from the dizzy to the spark plugs. The only way you can believe how big a difference you can make by fi tting a new set of these is if you’ve done it in the past and seen the results, so if you’ve got an old V8 in your life, these are for you. They’re at lucasclassic.com/landrover.

CERAMIC PAINT PROTECTION is a recognised way of minimising the scratches your vehicle can suffer when you’re using it off-road or on unsurfaced rights of way. But to do it properly is a professional job costing several hundred pounds.

Autoglym’s Rapid Ceramic Spray, on the other hand, costs £19.99 for a 500ml bottle. Admittedly, it produces what the company calls a ‘ceramic-like coating’, which you can interpret as you wish, but it does claim to provide ’maximum resistance against the natural environment’ for up to three months.

It’s also tropical-scented, apparently. Just what you need after sloshing through a farmmyard full of wet cow slurry And you just need a couple of squirts per panel. It doesn’t claim to prevent brush rash, but then real ceramic coating doesn’t either. Your pays your money and you takes your choice…
