Same thing as before. Loss of power, shaking gearstick at idle, phutting noise from exhaust. Suspect ignition coil again, all four of which were replaced previously. Have called mechanic who did work, unfortunately they don't have any coils in stock, so they've had to order one. Because it's Friday, they won't be delivered until Monday sometime during the day.

This leaves me without a properly functioning car until Monday evening. Damnit. I'm completely unhappy with this. It also leaves me with no confidence in driving 400 miles up to Scotland in 2 weeks. I know that it's worked fine for ages and it's probably just one dodgy piece of kit, but still. You have to have confidence in your equipment, right?

I don't know if we'll have any time on the way up - we're going all the way up to Elgin, I guesstimate about 9-10 hours of driving, assuming it all goes well... maybe on the way back, which should be Wednesday 15th, IIRC.

I'll drop you a message when I know more!
