Ah back to the sweet sound of six!
4Motion owners: it might be a good preventative exercise (and perfect excuse to drink beer in this heat) to pull your coils out to check their condition.
The one that failed last week due to heat had snapped clean off in the bore. But a few JMac tricks (and quite a bit of muscle) later, all's well. Zip ties FTW eh Jimmy
The others were either absolutely perfect or required only a slight dusting with 1200 sandpaper to remove some of the build up that should be there if the coil is doing it's job.
Jimmy also recommended removing the heat shield from one as it's a bit redundant, considering the rubber sleeve seals snuggly around the plugs. New coil going in shortly to replace that one anyway.
Also may have another diagnostic fix for noisy auxiliaries (but more R&D needed on that one...)
