   Need a new coil pack but the ones on euro cars parts are 2 ends of the price range :o
   
   ARC Ignition Coil = £54.60
   Valeo Ignition Coil = £177.60
   
   What is the difference? and can i get one middle of that price range?

   bit cheaper than ECP, valeo comes out at 140. still seems pretty steep to me though

   Is there any point in buying the Valeo for the extra money over the ARC though?
   
   or are there any mid range coil packs?

   Valeo is obviously the best but to be honest for that price i'd chance the ARC one. should come with some kind of warranty anyway if it does break plus you could buy it 3 times for the price of a valeo lol
