But why are they different prices... There the same thing apart from the bolts dont line up and the end plugs dont fit each other.

unless you force them and forget the bolts .. then they are good to diagnose the other side with 300 codes 

Yes I noticed they will actually fit in the other side, but I've never plugged one in. In fact, are the plugs the same?

[Steve B]

It was nice to meet you both 

[chrisgixer]

Indeed. And likewise. At the Wycombe meet btw, before any rumours start.

It is important to add that coil packs tend to fail due to water ingress.

Don't spend a fair amount of cash on new items and overlook the underlying issue.

  the scouse pest is asleep, so should be safe...

Plugs are colour coded, but otherwise interchangeable

Damn right. Seal that scuttle.

Clue. Is the foam wet on the scuttle underside? Is the windscreen seal correctly fitted? Hrab the scuttle and pull. If the seal moves away from the screen, remove scuttle and refit seal. It clips on. Etc etc as BM says basickly.

Agreed. Once the windscreen to scuttle seal slips down, the groove fills up with dust and muck washed down off the screen. It then won't grip or fit on the glass so needs removing and cleaning out. By removing the scuttle it tears the foam seal to bulkhead so that then needs mastic sealing.
The windscreen seal was hanging off on one of the cars worked on at the recent meet and the foam was hanging in water. It was clearly dripping on to the coil pack so that needs sealing.

After a rotten journey back from Oxfordshire on a very cold night when my screenwash fluid froze (-19) I run my cars on neat Opticlear in the winter. I wonder if this affects the screen to rubber bond?

[chrisgixer]

There is no bond, as such. It clips on. No glue, no goo, no sticky anything. Just clips.
