    Just changed out the coil pack for a new one. I intended on changing the plugs too, but the current ones are a bit (well a lot) stuck. I am sure given a bit of overnight soaking and a better wrench I could get them out with no damage but at the moment it is running well - the check engine light cleared so I don't want to mess about with it. I am a bit concerned about the plugs being worn and putting the new coil pack under strain though....

    Just in case you do decide to PX it later on - I'd always check with the dealer first, they might be nice. I got £500 in PX for a 125,000 mile, about-to-snap-in-half-due-to-rust, Fiat Punto, at an Audi dealer... It was worth about £70 in scrap.

    Just an fyi on this. That site quoted me £75 for my car which I heartily guffawed at. I managed to sell it on ebay for £500.
