why has my odd bank coil pack just overheated and started smoking within 30 seconds of switching on the ignition?

If youve had the coils out make sure youve not trapped the wires to the coil and earthed the coil driver wires out .. the symptom you have suggests the coils being powered constantly which would suggest a short circuit to earth ..

Jes, are you sorted now or still having problems??

If so, you are welcome to double drive the Cerbera - though I have one condition (dad doesnt) - please dont challenge physics again. hehe
