My sister came round with the same problem with her car, took the coil pack out of mine and put in hers, as exact same car, just hers is a 1.4 and mine is 1.6
and worked perfectly, so told her needs a coil pack, she going to order from ebay, and when it comes looks like ill be fitting it myself.
Love it when you dont have to pay a garage !
Whats next I can do? or maybe just wait for something else to go wrong on my car and then try to fix it?
