All great,then on the way home,things went downhill rapidly,car started to misfire then cut dead.My immediate thought was the coils.

Got the breakdown company to recover the car, got it to my mates place and yes 3 of the coils are not firing at all.

He advised me to fit all 6 coils and new plugs,then it gets worse....the price .... £580.Not good at all.

Anyone had any decent prices for the coilsticks and if so where from please?

Thanks.Lee.

Sparkystav eBay mate for second hand ones, there getting cheaper all the time.

Got another price on Blueprint coils this morning from elsewhere £40 + vat each (£48) so much better than the original price.
However I have sourced a full set of 6 genuine Lexus coils off a Lexus breaker for a very reasonable price,plus I will have 3 spare then.Gonna put new plugs in aswell,only a temp. measure though as I plan to put HKS plugs in when it goes for mapping.

Thanks.Lee.

The car is back up and running now.Replaced the 3 coils and a new set of standard plugs (NGK IFR6T11 Iridiums) for now as I can't decide what plugs to put in it,I will decide soon when it goes for mapping.

Thanks.Lee.
