Interesting one... after been laid up since June because it needed the head gaskets doing, the dis pack has decided it no longer wants to send a spark to cylinders 1 and 5.
Wondering if this is a typical failure?
At first I thought I'd made a boo boo of replacing the head gaskets because it was only running on 4 cylinders but did a compression test and all 6 are getting about 16 bar.
So I checked all the plug leads were ok, nothing from 1 & 5 so replaced with spares, still nothing.
Put leads 1 & 5 onto dis pack outputs for 2 and 4 (wasted spark pairing) and hey presto, a spark, and proof that the leads are ok.
So I can either have it running on 2, 3, 4, 6 or 1, 3, 4, 5 which at least proves all the cylinders work if they have ignition.
Anyone else had a similar failure? No sign of rust or splits in the casing.

last year I fit new bosch coil pack to my omega and after few minutes , nr5 on coil pack went down not expect that from new coil pack
replaced with other unit no issue since

Thanks Serek, confirms that individual outputs can die. I'd more expected a whole coil to go with the loss of a pair of outputs.
Just realised I made a mistake above, I can have it running on 1, 3, 5, 6 or 2, 3, 4, 6
Anyway, replacement dis pack on its way to me so normal service should resume shortly, can't wait to hear the 7k howl again :)
