| Any recommendations on where to get a set of ignition cables for the V4?
The set that were on my 95 were so long they were tied to the strengthening bar, so it would be good to get some that fit properly!

| If the caps are not bonded to the leads you can shorten the leads and refit the caps. If they are bonded, cut them at the right length at the dizzy end and fit new terminals (eBay). If the leads are old I wouldn't bother. Most recent sets I bought were Cologne V6 ones.

| As mine are quite old, I had a look around for a new set - Burton don't stock them, although I could have spent £28 (plus postage) getting a set for the V6, it seemed like a waste.
Found an NGK set specific to the Saab V4 here;

(Just in case anyone else is looking in the future) | |

| This company is very good and very helpful: Ignition Car Parts - https://www.ignitioncarparts.co.uk/PartDetails.aspx?s_pc=OEF215&s_vid=
Speak with Peter and he will be happy to assist. I have used them on a number of occasions and found them to be spot-on. Their ignition leads are excellent and very well made.
Regards.

| Well, my NGK cables turned up - from Berlin (NGK cables aren't sold in the UK apparently) - but the coil to dizzy lead is only 20cm long - it needs to be about 40cm to comfortably reach!
So that's a little annoying, especially for a kit that's meant to be for the Saab V4.
I also noticed that the connection on the accuspark coil is larger than the Bosch one, so a standard cable is too small. So I've ordered the bits I need from Accuspark to make up my own lead (as Melle originally suggested). | |
