After the HG replacement I would recheck the cambelt is timed up correctly and then pull the diagnostic codes to see if anything flags up.

If you get fault codes come back with them.

Hi

A google search says that fault code is related ignition coil number 6,

it could be working fine when cold but breaking down when the car has been running, then it will probably run ok again when you leave it to cool.

Good diagnostics Alan, coil packs can become thermally sensitve and if they weren't carefully removed and stored correctly during the HG replacement and could have been damaged.

I know these are expensive but normally they are replaced as a full set of six.

You could switch number six with one of the new ones and then recheck the fault code to see if it has followed the faulty one to it's new position. But make sure you clear the codes before doing it or you may have two codes.

BTW have you bought OEM ones for the two already replaced?

[looney legs]

they were meant to be expensive but i found a company that do them new for 30 quid plus vat with a year guarantee if anyone needs their no i will happily give it as you have all been very kind a helpfull to me,thanks so much,and my partner is now trying what you sugested steve i will keep you all informed

[looney legs]

How did that little trick Steve suggested with moving the coils work out ?

did the fault code follow the suspect coil ?
