1990 BX 14 Coil
1990 BX 14 Coil
Hi
Got a slight issue with the St Tropez when it gets warm and I suspect its the coil that's at fault. Its fine when cold but starts running rough and misfiring when warm or in traffic.
Can anyone suggest how these coils are fitted? Is the coil mounted by Torx screws or is there an easier way of unbolting it?
Also can anyone suggest where I can obtain a new coil from, my local motor factor is quoting £30 for a new one. Is that about right or rather dear?
Cheers
Matt

and try GSF for a new coil, it will be the same as an AX one

Pretty sure its the same as a valver one, if memory serves. It does sound like the coil, although I'd check the fuel mixture too.
