They are EMI supressors, you can quite hapily junk them and have no ill efect to the runnign of the car.

Thanks TT, what do they actually do then.

electro magnetic interference....they stop crackling coming out of nearby speakers ie car radio, tv's etc ....caused by the HV ignition spark that emits a particular kind of radio wave.

I doubt you will ever notice, I never did when removing them on my 4b4's..

Some countrys you would be drawn over hot coals and flogged to an inch of your life for polution of the airwaves, mind you would need an anechoic chamber and some sensetive equipment to pick it up!
