Hi there looking at a 2008 db9 48 k miles
Looking through the advisorys it says misfire I have spoken to Aston Martin who says it will need a new coil
Should I be overly worried
Also there is only one key which is glass what sort of costs will i be looking at to get a normal key
Noticed also exhaust bypassed ?
Needs new pads for the back how much would they be fitted from an indie

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

Failed coil at 48,000 is actually quite good. Mine had one go at 35,000. They get very hot so this is normal. Problem is it is a big job to replace....inlet manifolds off for a start, and the two gasgets for those alone is about £160 , let alone labour. So advice is....if replacing a coil...get all 12 done. I would suggest you find out if it has had coils replaced in the past. I think you are looking at around £1500 from a main dealer for all twelve.

Exhaust bypass....actually it usually is just the fuse removed which leaves the baffles open all the time. Many people do it, me included.

Cant remember on costs for pads, perhaps try ringing one for a quote. Glass keys are ridiculous....north of £1,000 I think.

Not sure of your budget or any other requirements but I have seen this car and it is very tidy.
