I've sent them an email.

I've also found this - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FALCON-AU-II-...QQcmdZViewItem

I'd save $45, but I'd have to wait a week for it. Extra expense in running on petrol for a week would be around $25, meaning I'd only really save $20.

Matt.

repco - $176 (in stock)
carbitz - $145 (in stock)
coventry - $149 (in stock)
supercheap - $100.95 (would have to order. 5 to 7 days wait. That's likely $20-$25 in ULP in that time compared to $12-$13 in LPG)

I guess supercheap is looking like the best bet at this point.

No idea, I just want whats cheap for the moment. Have ordered one from supercheap. Either $99 or $105 depending on shipping costs. It'll do.

Righteo, the car didn't do it at all when I was on petrol for a few days. I'll get the auto checked anyway though, better safe than sorry.

I picked up the coil pack today at $104 and put it (along with some new plugs) in this evening. It wasn't hard in the slightest.
I took it for a 10km drive and it felt fine, so I guess I'll see what happens over the next few days now I am back on LPG.

Cheers

Matt.

Another drive tonight.. took off from a set of lights with my foot to the floor up to 60km/h and she didn't backfire. Based on that I have to assume this is what the issue was.

Cheers mate, I really appreciate your help. I'll pay it forward, or back, whichever comes first.
