Does anyone know which make and model of car the ignition coil packs for the 4.5 AJP are from?

Think I may need to replace one.

Thanks.

Edited to add - also where's a good source of HT leads for the 4.5.

From the equivalent parts sticky;

The correct Bosch part number for V8 coil packs is:

0221 503 025

They're expensive but anecdotal evidence is that Bosch last longer, the alternatives are...

HT leads I got from ACT - the Magnecor racing red ones and had no problems at all with them, but others have reported issues.

No doubt the Bosch coil packs are superior to the cheap Chinese copies you can get off eBay, but do they last 4 times as long? I'm not sure, more to the point it's much easier spending £50 than £200 for a pair. There are also other manufactures with price points inbetween, such as Sagem. I'll report back once my Chinese coil packs fail.

Just a Citroen/Peugeot part. Any local dealers to you?

I've fitted ARC ones from Eurocar parts. Unfortunatley one is missfiring from new so I'd not recommend them.

I'm looking for Bosch ones now.
