Cheers mate. That the first thing i checked cos i know what they are like and my spark was bright blue. Tried it yesterday and a very faint orange flicker so theres obviously something wrong with it.

just make sure you have a good earth from engine to coil and everywhere else check all the other wiring around the engine especially behind the throttle body area as the exhaust heat shield can burn them apart from that re check your relays not all parts that i've changed have been good parts thats from experience then you end up trying everything again  you will get there in the end mate always seems to be the 8v's ive had 3 and all had issues now have a 16v and not one problem electrically yet (touch wood )

Just changed the coil and im getting a cough and a splutter but still no luck im thinking maybe not enough juice in the battery so ive put it on charge. My oil light is still flashing thought is that normal?

Have you done the relays yet?
I am pretty sure they were the final things to cure mine, and they were £9 each and 10 mins to fit

Not yet. Just tried bumping it and i didnt sound healthy at all

With the new coil pack on i'm still lacking in the spark department. I get 1 or 2 every 5 seconds or so??? Anyone?
