whether you panic or not the outcome will be the same :cool:. I think the fact you had it parked on a hill was just a coincidence. I had a coilpack fail on me in a fiat punto when I went round a corner to fast lol. but that was probably a coincidence to. mind and let us know the verdict.

Yea im glad its sorted now.

Got my car back earlier today. The mechanic showed me the old coildpack, whatever is inside it has over heated and expanded which resulted on a chunk of plastic cracking off. Hes said he never seen anything like it.
