M42 ignition coil and plug numbers ???

[marlon]

Got a bit of a problem already, even before I start with the 318iS engine swap

My mate (who owns the car) has been helpful and removed a lot of stuff from the broken engine so we can get on with the swap on saturday.

Anyway, he removed the spark plug leads and didn't take note which plug goes with which coil pack.

Can anyone tell me the answer please ???

Cheers

Ok thanks for that

I don't have access to the car as it's in my mates garage so I couldn't have a look.

He's not that technical and doesn't realise the implications of ripping parts out of engines without making sure he knows where everything goes when it's put back together !!!

I only realised he'd removed the leads (even though I said he'd be better leaving them in the coil packs for now) when he sent me a picture of his progress !!!

That doesn't matter as #1 plug is at the front of the engine

Just needed to know which coil pack fired which plug.

Thanks again.

Oh yeah, I was being sarcastic but it should of had this smiley at the end. Reading it as it is just now, it does look a bit harsh. Sorry...that's the problem with the written word
