I've got an old M reg Gti which I lurv. She broke down on my drive in the summer, new coil fitted & away we go.

Was in Harrogate in the TVR about two weeks later when smoke billowed through the bonnet vent. T'was oil leaking from the coil. New coil fitted & Robert's your mother's brother.

Out in North Allerton last night in the R32. Emission light winks at me and car suddenly sounds like a Subaru. New number four coil fitted today.

What's the chances of that then?

Depends - is North Allerton near you? Do you often have reason to go there?

Fair point well put.

It's been a downward spiral for you, that's for sure.

A spiral is a two dimensional shape and cannot therefore be downward.

I hope this helps (in a helical sort of way)

I don't know, does you car usually wink at you and do impressions? Is it auditioning for X-Factor?

Perhaps you're feeling a little flat over it?
