Technical Need new ignition coil/s

When i thought my ignition coils had gone, my mechanic mate told me that usually once one coil has gone the second goes about a week later...something along them lines anyways. I thought you changed ignition coils in pairs? :confused:

Congrats on the ebay win.
 
Get yourself into a scrapyard, take an allen key set and a 10mm socket with a ratchet, find yourself a seicento (as these are the newest and most likeliest found, i got mine off a 52 plate, need them for my 16vt coupe) get them off, put them in your pocket with your tools then get something small off the car like a blanking plate, pay for that and walk out! :) It works out much cheaper! LMAO!

do you steal from other shops aswell? they will know they are gone and will know it was you :mad:
 
I know and know of loads of people who take parts from scrapyards as you probably do to, ive heard stories of sets of alloys, turbo's and in some cases doors, bootlids and bonnets going missing, all of which cost hell of a lot more than 2 coils, how the hell people take those i dont know! So dont have a go at me!

so why is it ok to steal from scrappies that dont make hardly any money these days because of the new polution laws, but its not ok to steel from tesco and places like that, that make millions :confused:

I've live in a rural area and the scrappy at the edge of my village nets the owner..........wait for it..........£8 million a year from scrap parts!

one of my fave scrappies (place where i sourced my Punto throttle body and where i was gonna source a 1242) closed down last year because they were making less than £18k and then wasn't even breaking even for them
 
oh, and another point, don't steal from scrappies. they are keeping many of us on the road and i've learnt a hell of a lot from my time in scrapyards. They need the money just like any retailer does. Plus many have ****ing huge guard dogs!
