Well it looks like I've got a coilpack that has decided it needs a permanent rest. The clue was plenty of stuttering under any sort of power and a flashing engine management light - does this sound about right? My main question though is are the official dealers the best place to get a new coilpack or are their cheaper ways of getting 'em? Also is it worth replacing all four at the same time (which isn't ideal as I'm pretty tight for cash at the mo)?

Have you tried the recall?

Get a full set for free at your local dealer as per recall and above thread if they are of an older type.

Reminds me, I must check mine! Will they swap my 2 spare ones aswell???

Hi bigtrev, I have some spares ones, I will send you a pm

If it helps - some flashy better lasting red ones, beleive they work out cheaper than the dealer ones too
