coilpack is an easy replace, its at the back under the bonnet. like directly under the windscreen, small balck box. undo the two bolts holding it on, unplug it. and do the same in reverse.

think i had to remove my plastics that go between the windscreen and bonnet, held on by 3 plugs.

whole job takes about 10mins :)
