Disco 1 Spark plug lead popping off

#1 Post by Amadreas » Fri May 22, 2020 2:53 pm

I’m finding that spark plug lead on cylinder #3 keeps popping off. So I replaced the wire set and still is happening every now and then. It usual happens on warm engine restarts. Any ideas?

Everything seems to be sorted now, with a great “Thanks” to Landcrabmechanic for straightening me out. Problem was with dielectric grease inside the spark plug leads acting as a lubricant to allow for easy dislodging.
