coil or what?

28th April, 2007 by Jonathan

The MOT is coming up, but with so few miles travelled my preparation is short and sweet. One thing that needed to be done was the rear foglight. During some building work last year, the right hand foglight managed to get hit by a passing lawnmower. Replacing it is not high on my list of priorities, especially as I can understand the logic of one foglight being safer than two (less likely to be confused for brake lights). So, instead of replacing, I just moved the left foglight to the right, as it seems a safer location being nearer the centre of the road.

While I had the tools out, I also replaced the coil with the Lumenition Magnetronic Coil. This isn’t compulsory when using the Magnetronic ignition unit, but is reccomended. I had bought it a while ago, half hoping it may cure my running problems. It hasn’t, but it does look quite nice under the bonnet.
