Can someone link me, or write up a quick step by step on replacing coil pack for a VP 5L?

5ltr uses a single coil, its on the firewall from memory, unbolt it, disconnect the coil plug and the wires on it, hook new one up the same way.

you cant just unbolt it, you need to remove the engine covers, move the hoses that run along the firewall out of the way, disconnect the dissy cap, then move it out of the way, you can then have enough access to change the ***coil over.

If its in the same spot as a VT V8 then you dont have to remove the rocker cover.

ummm, you dont have to but theres pretty much no room to play with so getting it out of there is a good idea. I dont know how skinny your arms are but there is no chance in hell i can even touch the coil without removing it.

Its a tight sqeeze put it that way.
I meant the engine covers not rocker cover, just allows more room to work with

Trent its right at the rear of the inlet manifold on the left side. They are a bit of a prick to get to, just remove the l/h engine cover (injection, not rocker) to make it a bit easier to get to. It's just held on by a single 13mm bolt....
Are you sure it's the coil Trent??
