I need a VAG ignition coil tomorrow after 1pm, does anyone know a shop or motor factor within reach High Wycombe? CarSpares in Cheshunt have them but close at 1pm, Halfords and Europarts can't get one until Tuesday. I guess the VW dealers' spares depts are all closed on Sundays? Somewhere in London, perhaps?

Autopartz is near Morrisons in High Wycombe and I think they're open on Sundays. Their number is 01494 530333.
Sunday till 3pm, thanks. "Any part for any car"... sounds hopeful.

Dont know if they'll be able to help, but Apsley car spares near Hemel have always been good for me - but that does sound a tricky part for a Sunday.
I think I remember going there in the 80's when I lived in Watford, open till 6pm, thanks I'll give them a try too.

Autopartz in Wycombe were great, and really good price. Unfortunately I discovered that 2 coil packs are playing up, obviously 10 minutes after they closed frown

Midnights had a non-brand coil but more expensive and I couldn't be bothered to drive there. She'll have to survive without the car tomorrow. But I hate the fact I didn't get it fixed. However we're now sitting in what's left of Wycombe A&E as my 8 year old is burning up, so the car's out of my mind.

Back to Autopartz tomorrow, thanks for your help.

Another coil pack from Autopartz and a little OBD work has fixed the misfire & cleared the emission warning, I'd recommend them to PH-ers in Bucks Berks & beyond. Stoke Mandeville is a whole different kettle of fish but fortunately she's home (I think they were short of beds) so end of thread. It's a shame 100,000 people around Wycombe don't have A&E, a children's ward or a proper maternity unit.

Thanks for the help, I thought PH was full of people arguing, not helping each other?
