General Bloody car!

[Aspect]

On the way to work this morning, and it started juttering and all of a sudden ENGINE FAULT!!! . It sounded like a bloody tractor after that. Managed to get it home, my dad looked over it. All that spark plugs were ok, but he reckons the bit that goes on top of the spark plug has gone on one of them. We phoned one place who have said it would take two days to get and cost £45!!


Bloody car! :bang:

Coil... Very Common Fault! We Sell Hundreds Of These! £45 Is Right, I Wouldnt Be Tempted To Go For Cheaper Options Over The Fiat Ones.. I Now Carry A Full Set Of 4 In The Boot (just In Case!):d ERRRRR I DO MEAN 5!!!!

Some People Advise Changing All 4 At Once If The Funds Are There As The Rest May Well Follow Suit!!

Famous 1.6 fault Nick . . . try having a 1.8 that always sounds like a tractor when you start it .

Shop4parts.co.uk have them instock and £40.49 inc. postage. FIAT want £42 but you should get 10% discount if you ask them nicely

I presume out of warranty then - I got my coil pack replaced FOC, via the AA.

From what he said on the phone, i think it maybe a Champion one. I had 2 Champion ones and two Sagem.
