Had to go and pick up a T30 driver to take the wire housing off but the first one came out pretty easily. I didn't have the new ones with me, just wanted to test I had the right tools. I'll take the rest out tomorrow for good measure and replace them all with new, but attached is the problem cable. It was baked hard. The others seem fine/flexible but still inclined to replace them all. Hoping that it does the trick.
Though I'm hesitant to put on the 'marten protection' (the new leads don't come with it) that was currently on them as I don't think it did much on the heat protection front and was actually the stuff that had melted on the exhaust so I wonder if it got too close (by being 5 x the diameter of the cable itself) and basically cooked the lead?
