Dont bother  

Bought one last tuesday off vx scrappy dealer last week....

Put it on veccyC this morning to test it.......causes missfires on lpg and petrol...lpg being worse.

I found a way to test coilpacks.....only fitted tho....get the revs to about 1500rpm.....and floor it.....if it coughs.....its the coilpack   Over 2k revs and it will be fine....1500rpm seems to be the decider test  

So i'll have to take it back next week (dealer said it would be ok to return it)

Looks like i'll have to get a new one  

So James you'll get the relatively new one on the veccyB (6 months old) and works fine and i'll buy a new one for the veccyC

I have seen Bosch coil packs on flea bay for less than £100, so i would fit a new one, as they are supposed to be a pain to fit unless you have nice slim hands..

New ones on Ebay are 65 quid and yes you do need slim hands unless you have a Tunnie handy of course, you also need eyes that can see round corners

Moving......you want to put the engine under lots of load

Coil packs are easy peasy to change......think you mean dis packs

Yep. Loo-knee, the DIS packs are on the back of the block and hidden, coil packs, which are the later DBW engines, sit on top of the spark plugs. So a much easier change.

Bit of a bugger that Dave

Think yourself lucky it's not a Mazda   £208 from main stealer  

Did think about going to a scrappy for that but it's one part that, previous mileage aside, isn't going to appreciate sitting in a field getting damp.
