   Cleaning engine bay on a saxo iv got last night! Was fine,turned it over this morning to move it and it's missing...great...anyway hopefully iv found the problem,the little black box has snapped off the bracket/earth ring that bolts to the coil pack,I must have knocked it last night!
   
   Now I'm just wondering is it going to just be as simple as splicing a new one in or not?
   
   Cheers

   That doesn't matter... Mine fell off... I think you'll have some water or dampness on some connectors. WD40 them all
