Would you BUY Magnecore KV85?
would you buy these sparklug wires MAGNECORE KV85 when replacing your worn wires?
what kind of improvement do I get with aftermarket wires vs OEM MB sparkplug wires?
Does c43 suck less gas with these wires?
Do I get a stronger and faster car?
I red on Magnecores website that the rubber hat sitting on the sparkplug can pop off and your car will die on the spot if not being attached properly?
Do they fall off occasionally?
If the hats fall off it won't be fun in a dangerous place!

you have no experiance with them yet?
there was tons of FAQ on the british website, it would have taken me a life sentence to read that bollocks!
I just skimmed the text, and found something about hats falling off the sparkplug?
That doesn't look safe to me!

Don't believe everything that is written. The FAQ is good reading and service from Magenecor in the UK is top class.

Yes I ordered them direct from Magnecor in the UK. Item n° 8549 for all M113 V8 engines. Cost me a total of CHF 378.55 which included shipping costs, import taxes and VAT in Switzerland. Took about 2-3 weeks to be custom fabricated and sent over. I'll post some photos later tonight...

KV85 Magnecor ignition cables
The invoice received was £206.74 total (without VAT as Swizzyland is not in the EU....).
Price split is as follows:
£188.85 for the goods
£17.89 for shipping
Hope that helps
