I have just been informed about this website that sells 7mm elements for 40 euro each. Think they are any good or just the cheap chinese elements?

Interesting. Which Ford Transit used them? Would they be any better than 6mm elements? What is their disadvantage over the stock elements? Like rough idle etc?
Thanks

That helps to avoid issues like rough idle, having to do troubleshooting and so on.
Like dieselmeken said, the original Bosch elements e.g. miss a retard notch for the stuff we do.

I can recommend Tomniks elements (Tomnik is a member here). They are a little more expensive than others, but the quality is the best I have seen so far AND they are designed for the stuff we do here.

Not for MW, only M-serie. Ford Transit, the old York 2,4 diesel between 74-78 i think it was.
These old element is not to be recommended if you shall have your car for daily drive, for race / drifting they are OK but you can get hard nailing on low idle
