Always best to be optimistic laird, the V6 only has 1 big coil right at the front above and behind the fan, not individual coils, when they die they usually die in 2's so it'll drop to 4 and run (reasonably smoothly with a few revs on but at low revs, lumpy) with a loss of power and as the cats get a free unleaded bath (which does them no favours) smells most unpleasant. Doesn't account for the boiling coolant bottle though? Hopefully just the coil........

Ford Capri Laser: noisy, slow, thirsty, bouncy, no buttons but it always sounds like it’s REALLY trying and I can’t help but chuckle when it parps and boings along. And people of a certain age stare at it with a wistful look in their eyes that clearly says…I had one of them. And I sold it because of the kids
