hi all was wondering if there is any way of telling which coil pack is fitted without the trouble of removing it from the car.
i notice that there are two different plugs one square and one ovalish.
prob is the car is in constant use and cant afford to have it off the road long enough to take coil off and then send for one.
any ideas.  :question

I would say its more than likely to be the oval one

[Broomies Mate]

Due to age, it is more than likely the oval one.  You can reach down behind the plenum and pull the plug off to look.  There is enough slack on the cable to let you see the plug.

I ended up ordering both to make sure i had the right one.
Told my local shop i would return the wrong one (no probs)

You're not the only one, when I did mine I had to take the plenum and scuttle off. I can barely reach my HBV to touch let alone the coil pack.

i love the logic of car makers. make it so hard to get to stuff that you have to take to stealers and pay lots o money.
will wait till a good day as no garage and borrow brother in laws car while mig is off road.
is mg zs so nearly as much fun lol.

good news replaced the coil pack and car defo runs a lot better. was the oval one. thanks for the advice all.
scared the bits out of me when the engine management light came on then remembered i still hadn't replaced the solenoid valve on the rear ram and left the plug off lol.
