+1 there is info in the manual so you can test the various parts. At least you'll rule out a known weak spot.

I was not aware that the dizzy is a bit of a weak spot, but it kinda makes sense as I guess that a dizzy failure would not bring up any CEL fault codes.

Anyone had a dizzy fail on them and if so what happened?

That also makes sense. Where is the coil pack located - is it part of the dizzy or elsewhere in the engine bay?

It's inside the dizzy. Really easy to replace and can be bought online for around £25.

Ah, it's part of the dizzy - I'll have a look around, get a 2nd hand one (with coil-pack) and see if that makes a difference.

PS - anyone got one for sale?

My dizzy failed a few years back.
Car just cut out while driving down the road.
All the dash lights lit up and everything. Engine turned over fine but just wouldn't fire. AA came out and sourced it to be the coil in the dizzy.
