im not sure if it is the coil pack - he just said the ignition coil has gone and has burn the cables connecting to it

not 100% if that makes any sense

if that is the case - is this just something random that can happen or is there an underlying cause?

just wierd that it was running perfectly for 5 days of long driving then suddenly go to start it and nothing....

I think its just a random thing that happened. Bad luck maybe?

If it keeps happening then be worried but maybe a fuse blew and it shorted something or maye the car just felt like being mean to you?

We had a similar situation with our car but it was tracked down to the radio hat was chomping the battery while the car was off It was a fuse that was playing up. New fuse and life went on. Its just a freak occurence.

Dont pull your hair out about it.
