Do you think there is a chance that my MY08 Ed30 which seems to lose it's pull at about 4000rpm could be dodgy coil packs?  It's been remapped a week ago btw

Cheers... probably worth asking the stealers to run a check on them, when it's in next week

My Ed30 started misfiring after being re-mapped - on full throttle across the rev range, with the "check exhaust" light flashing occasionally.  Turns out it was a dud coil pack, but this didn't show up on diagnostics initially.  Possibly a coincidence?

In my case it was misfiring on full throttle acceleration, plus flashing "check exhaust" light. i.e. it was obvious that something was wrong.

No, just changed the one showing the fault code, which solved the problem.  For now, at least ...
