misfire - coil gone?

[summeh]

Going to say i've got a coil gone, sounds v lumpy, aweful tbh, acceleration is poor too.

Do ECP sell these or is it going to be a renault-rip-off-special?

Got a lot of traveling to do this weekend so a bit peeved, anyone have a spare in the Kent area they could "lend" me if i can't get hold of one?? I'm thinking having a spare is going to be a good idea... :/

Looks like one or two, have been replaced previously on the rear bank, don't know what standard looks like...

Guessing easy way to test is to pull the plug of each coil and see how it affects the idle... other than putting a voltmeter across the coil? not sure of thats a good idea?

Don't drive it though as will knacker cats!

They are available from motor factors and places like ECPs. Peugeot v6 coils are also the same if that's helps pal

Your easy way is the recommended way of finding the faulty one. LINK

Also Citroen dealer is an other option. The C5 v6.

thought this was going to be expensive, but just checked ECP... 20quid for a valeo jobby or 17quid for a febi. will get a couple as two already been replaced looking at history.

thanks james
