I knew that would get attention! ;D ;D ;D ;D
No, honestly, her Focus has been driving like a pig for months now with a low-revs mis-fire that had good days and bad. It had had new plugs and coil pack but there was no ryme or reason to it.
Anyway, she's got a trip to Derby 5-up soon so I gave it a service and risked new plug leads and yet another coil pack. It was the coil-pack! It's never going to drive well but the improvement is stunning. How it knew you were entering a roundabout so's it could mis-fire I will never know!
Anyway. Lesson to be learned. Don't buy the "cheaper" option coil-pack.

:P At least you didn`t say your wife asked you to fit her new coil! ;D
.....there`s a lot of pattern (fake) parts about, too; the chap at my local factors says the market is awash with Chinese copies of 'quality-parts' which are difficult to tell from the real thing....except for the fact that they don`t work! :(

Can't say I'm afraid and I don't recognise that name. I did bin the box yesterday but it's always possible I was sold a s/h one. New one is Bremi (http://www.en.bremi.de/b)
