hello, going to view a very cheap but nice looking e36 320 later. The current owner states it needs a new coil pack to get though the M.O.T. What would be the symptoms of a faulty coil? The price he's selling the car for makes me wonder what else is wrong with it!!! Thanks in advance

Isn't it six individual ones on that engine, and there like 20 quid each

Thanks for the quick reply, £20 each isn't that bad i suppose. Will have to look at it and see!

Thought they were a lot more than £20 each!

Might be worth checking!

yer, dont quote me on the £20 each, they might be more!

And you say it aint bad, £20 x 6 = £120 and thats if they are £20

They might be £30 + vat 8O :?

Had a look at GSF car parts and they quote £29 + vat, so could be quite pricey for 6!
