Already replaced it with an NGK one... I just answered my own question as it may help someone out who is searching.

I bought an NGK ignition coil from Opie Oils, seems to be working just fine.

The screws holding the ignition coil to the bracket are standard M4 - I bought some socket cap screws from Screwfix for a couple of quid. They are 16mm length but anything 15-20 should be fine.

Just inspected the ignition coil today - it's looking a bit worse for wear! Where is the best place to get a replacement? An NGK one is £29.50 on eBay - anyone used one of these? Also the screws are very rusted and don't look like they will undo so I will look at getting a new bracket for the new co...

Yesterday the car was down on power after a cold start - would this point at one part in particular being faulty?

I will inspect the ignition coil at the weekend.

Anyone know where I can get some gas struts for the engine lid that don't require drilling?

Thanks, looks like the temp sensor would be a good place to start then as they are quite cheap.

Would the CTS or coil pack cause any other symptoms than cold starting problems?

They're £14 ish from Camskill - I replaced mine recently and the old one crumbled to dust as it came out, so might be worth replacing it regardless just to be sure. Cheers. Was your coo...

I'd be looking at a coolant temp sensor and intake temp sensor Would these show up fault codes? What will happen if they are disconnected? I found the air intake temp sensor the other day when re-fitting the airbox, not sure where the CTS is yet. The water temp on the dash is working fine - could t...

Cheers for the reply, think I know the bit you are talking about. Is it easy to remove?

Hi all, My g/fs rev 5 N/A UK spec MR2 has been difficult to start since the weather started getting colder. Have just replaced the battery with a Varta, the engine turns over fine but can take many attempts to start when cold. When I finally started it yesterday the engine was a bit hesitant at abou...
