Just did a quick check the BKR5EQUPA are the wrong temperature rating, they should be BKR6EQUPA

Further misbehaviour! Car was running perfectly Friday morning, no hint of a misfire. Drove it to Oxfordshire, 80 miles or so, then detected a slight misfire, when pulling full throttle at low revs, say below 1400rpm. No engine management lights flickering or staying on, and all fine above 1500rpm. Fault persisted on the journey home tonight. Have not checked for fault codes.
Seemed like an ignition fault, not firing under maximum compression. I had experienced similar problems on other PFL Omegas when the coil pack was on the way out. On 15/12/2014 East Sussex Tuning fitted 'Ignition Coil Module (left and right side)' for £90 plus VAT. Is that the price for genuine Vx ignition modules, or did they fit aftermarket items? If so, could that be the cause of misfire?

 Two at that price will be either cheap Chinese tat or second hand

Coil pacs are genuine Bosch. Or should be.

GM Bosch £120 plus a side
Bosch from a motor factor £50-70 a side

There's no way he fitted two with labour for that price. Or as Al says, two cheap shite cp's where fitted. Do they say Bosch on the top?

And does the problem worsen after rain? Heavy or otherwise?

£90+vat was the whole bill?

That would only cover labour at most garages

On the same invoice were 4 filters, 6 plugs, an oil pressure switch and 4 hours labour @ £35/hour, £140, total £281 plus VAT=£337.79 total.

Cheap Chinese tat I'm afraid. I had a pair of second hand plug sticks kicking around in my bits store, so I popped them in. Misfire cured! My sympathy goes out to the previous owner, who had East Sussex Tuning fit the wrong plugs and aftermarket coil sticks; he had no chance of getting it to run well after that. Pic follows of my stock used coil stick (top) and the shiny new unlabelled (bottom). It's a lesson to me, always buy genuine Vx. Trouble is they can be so much more expensive.

Aaa! That good one doesn't say Bosch. Thought they did.

There was a link on here for genuine Bosch for £50.
