Bugger it 

Is Vx stealer the best place to get replacement coil packs?

Who makes the OEM?

How much should I be paying?

Thanks

[biggriffin]

Vauxhall parts world.co.uk. Based in Romford supply Bosch coil packs,which are OE. 
Got mine from them, no problems on any thing.

Bosch oe supplier. ANY factors or outlet with the cheapest price will do.

Ring around and quote your best price so far. You should be able to get the price down to almost half dealer prices.

Nope, they are based in Grays, 15 miles from Romford.

Vauxcentre is in Romford and a different company.

Having said that I've use both and they are good, BUT becareful as when I bought a pair of coils for my Signum 1.3.5 was a Bosch part, 2.4.6 wasn't and it wasn't clear on the website. Both worked fine so didn't really matter


*edited to add*

They are around £70-80 each

Thanks chaps.

Does anyone have the pinout for the 5 pin connector on the coil packs perchance?  (I searched but got nothing)

Spark plugs swimming in oil. Bloody breathers

Arse biscuits   

Breather pipes all appear to be clear so why is the cam case pressurising to this extent? 

Water coming from the scuttle tray? 

[chrisgixer]

Oil and water. You need to seal the scuttle as well. Hose on the windscreen will show you where its leaking.

How many miles?

Camcover gaskets and coil packs could almost be considered service items after 120k...

I'll give it a whirl. Judging by how clean the engine bay is it might be jetwash related damage from the previous muppet owner

71k. Although judging by the colour of the treacle oil , it hasn't exactly been well loved for the last 20k. 

I still don't quite understand why so much oil is escaping the cam covers, (to the point that all the torx bolts have a light misting of oil around them), if the breathers aren't even slightly blocked? 

I don't want to go to the time and expense of replacing the cam cover gaskets only for it to go again because it's pressurising for some reason.
