damp causing tracking at coilpack/lead terminals

[exurq 0]

on a damp morning, you can see and hear the sparks and the engine is lumpier than yer ma's mash..

is the fault the leads or thepack? i'vea feeling this is a common VR issue.

thanks in advance.

could be either mate tbh coilpacks are common for going down if leads are getting a bit old they can break down aswell the leads are cheaper to replace but i reckon its prob the coilpack but until you replace 1 or the other you wont know for sure mate sorry my solution would be to just replace both then you know its sorted.Carl.

No need to replace the coilpack, it's a well-known fault and there's a fix;

Nope, custom stainless cat-back.

Yep, it's Clarkson!

Let me know how the coilpack repair goes, I've got a spare for mine which I need to do.
