The coil pack is held in with two bolts underneath, the wiring harness is held in by a small bolt. If it takes you more than 5 minutes to remove and install, your drunk, LOL.

As for price on coil pack, check eBay.

thanks acarmody.i dont need to set any timing or any thing else.its just take old one off and put new one on

[acarmody]

Thats it, just a straight swap, timing is controlled by the ECU.

i replaced mine with genuine holden parts.( I was sick of being sold crap from repco ) plugs,leads and the coil pack were a little over $500.If you've a friend with a vt or vx ask if you can swap coil packs for 5 minutes to check if that solves your problem before you go out and spend the bucks.

Can post you a set of coils to your door for $70. They take 2 minutes to fit.
