Had a bit more fun and car trouble yesterday. Was driving around a roundabout in Farnborough, engine light started flashing and the car lost all power.
I managed to get off the main road onto a side road and the car cut out.
The engine would turn over but wouldn't start and I had a strange combination of lights on the dash.
When I turned the ignition on, all the normal lights apart from the engine management and EPC light would come on, the TC light would flash and then stay on along with the battery light.
Called out the RAC and his computer wouldn't talk to the car so we couldn't find out what was going on.
We checked all the usual things and then I noticed that then we locked the car and opened the door, the fuel pump didn't prime.
This led us too look at the fues and number 37, i believe it was, had popped. RAC man replaced and it popped again. Changed another fues that had gone as well and then this fuse again, reconnected the battery and the pump primed, so we started the engine too see what happened.
Well after the RAC man put out the fire from cylinder 4, I sent the misses home to get the original old coil packs out of the bin.
We took out the 4 new two day old and replaced with the new and all is working fine now.
No idea what happened but it appers that coil pack 4 was faulty and burned out and caught fire.
Well a bit of fun and games!!
