I think I may have a look at the weekend, like you say may be worth keeping a spare but to be honest I have been thinking to get this replaced for peace of mind.

Been looking at this for a while now http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Calibra-Vectra-Omega-Astra-Coil-Pack-DIS-Unit_W0Q...

Is it a brand new unit or from another car.

There is bags of room inthe 2.0 engine bay, (and bags of room for improvement as well).

I think that you could probably stand between the block and the rad!

Seems strange that whenever I see a 2.0 now I always think Euugh! 2 thirds of an engine!.

I do a lot of mechanical work for my g/f's sister, there cars are amazingly simple in comparision.

They had a G Reg 1.0 Polo, an L Reg .995 Fiat Uno and now have an L Reg 1.4 (C14NZ) Astra F.

Amazingly simple. The polo had Breaker points in the Dizzy!
