2 weeks before, I put a new clutch in the wife's Seat and broke the coil's king lead connector. It was a Sunday and the only car "working" so I glued it.
It worked fine for a fortnight. But after it had been raining all day the car cut out right in the middle of the A46/Carholme Road Roundabout. So had to get out & push. pi55 wet through checking for common things I ended up calling RAC out as the fuel pump was noisy the days prior.
Poor guy got soaked testing both ends and finally squirted contact spray into HT leads.
Returned to us and said it was the coil, someone had bodged it
Best part was he had a coil for £79! next day I picked one up for £11.99
