Thanks for that info.

I just got 10 clips today.

Any tips on changing them? Not sure how we go about this.

Not sure. On the US-Spec non-VVTi model, there are six clips, one for each coil.

You've probably already learned the only thing you need to swap clips is a tiny flat-head screwdriver.

Appears to be only 3 coilpacks, with 2 sparks coming off each one (according to my mechanic).

It did cut out after we fitted the clips, but the battery was totally dead.

I've just put in a new battery, and currently it's been in idle for 43 mins with no problems.

So now I test properly on the road.

I did various runs, and other night did 150 mile round trip - 75 miles each way. Car ran like new.
