its only 4 T30 (iirc) to remove cover - I guess you have done that, to check coil wiring etc (oil cap seal often leaks, and can cause problems)

also not seen on the S/V40 series, but on the T5's the sleeving on the coil pack wiring, used to disintergrate, and cause problems with wiring.

Not removed anything - will leave to my mechanic. He very good and knew by my description of what happened exactly what the problem was.

Me, just a woman who has absolutely no idea of the mechanics of a car - sorry. One day I may find the time to learn but too busy working and running around after everyone else.

Now to re-schedule work (gardening) as car out of action for a couple of days - will have to get the old trolley out!

Cheers

coil pack failures aren't mega common, but is a 2 min job, I got my 9 Yr old son to strip them off my car, just by telling him where they were.

If it was my wifes car, I would expect her to change them herself, and she scores about 0.3 spanners on the haynes scale
