   about 5 miles from home and a rumble started from the exhaust at 60mph. slowing down for town and it started getting worse. opened the bonnet and the part of the exhaust for cylinder is cool whereas cylinder 2,3,4 are roasting so its running off a cylinder.
   
   
   so thinking its most likely the coil pack.
   
   would a coil pack from a 1.0, 1.1, vtr fit my furio?
   
   thanks

   Any signs of headgasket failure? Although if it's a somewhat intermittent problem it's more likely to be electrical. Start with checking the plugs.
