I was quoted $270something for a genuine coil pack when I phoned Bayford spares, but when I went in he knocked it down to $200... not sure why, but I wasn't complaining.
Here's a howto on replacing leads (and pack) : http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11256369 . I had a lot of problems initially (as usual) but eventually got it done, added some extra tips at the end of the thread. |

I'll talk to my parts friend and see what he can do. He looks after me well.

$270 for genuine coilpack...no wonder the guy knocked it down to $200 cos they're still making a killing.

My father in law used to work for ford so he got an employee discount, gives you an idea of how much margin is applied to retail... and that's already with market based pricing underneath that (you reckon a $5 globe costs that to manufacture, transport, store and sell?) |
