Hi guys im confused on which order i put my leads on. My old ones say from left to right; Kw 263, 321, 289, 236. My new ones however have different numbers on. 1041, 1085, 1079, 1106; which order do i put them in from left to right?

The numbering is irrelevant. Take one old one off, put new one on. repeat 3 more times. done.

No 1 is closest to the radiator, 2, 3 & on to 4 at the other end......

...and then working anti-clockwise around the distibutor the order is cylinder 1, 3, 4 then 2

ie looking at the front of the car the layout should be:

Cylinder Head:
4 3 2 1

Distributor:
3 1
4 2

It could be the different numbers refer to different length leads, Follow all the above advice and fit the lead which looks best in each position.

I actually cut mine to length so wasn't a lot of spare lead flopping around.
