I put in exactly how i took it off...
Well a knackered coil pack could give you poor running, unusual, but happens. Don't know how much tho'.

Just scouted on ebay, brand new one £40, couple of used ones on for 5 & 6 quid.

Electrical gremlins like that can throw you off what is at fault, so are difficult too trace until you change the right component or, like you, it fails.

However have a look at the links I posted above & price them at your local motor factors too.

That's exactly my point, you're confidence to tackle these simple jobs will increase. Servicing a car of this genre is simple, so long as you treat the car with respect & be safe when you work under it.

I learnt by being thrown in at the deep end by a mechanic friend who refused to work on my motor & said I had to learn to do it myself, learnt loads from it. Tho' have got a bit rusty, getting back into it at the mo! :lol:
