Coil pack help.

Well, it pissed it down just a little too much today, and there was just a little too much water on my route today with a mystery deep puddle thrown in around a corner.
Basically, engine got soaked.
The engine runs shite, and lumpy and i've dried it all out, but it's still crap.
So, thought i'd replace my coil pack.
In reason in the price differance? Anything I should buy instead (besides a turbo and a new car)

Is that the right coil pack to get. I presume so, it's long unlike a westcoast one i saw...
Also, whilst i'm at that area, though I might aswell get new spark plugs.
again, should I bother with multi tipped ones, or will just 3quid ones do the job?
I havnt yet pulled them out to check the length of them, but I immagine they're a standard length?
Heres a pic of my soggy/dirty bay.

Cheers.

Spray it all with either damp start/wd40 then take the car for a long run(gently)Then you`ll find the power comes back.

Take it off (coilpack) pull the long rubber lugs things off and on if u look where they connected get a screwdriver and scrap the crap off they get all corroded. Try get them as clean as you, if you look inside the rubber bungs you pull off you see metal springs take them out and clean them up to. Of corse that a free way and 5 mins that might cure the problem always worth a try before you spend money.

Well, for now after many hours of revving it and pissing of the neighbours, it came back to being smooth.
Took a good long while though.
I'd advise anyone with simliar problems to turn their engine off after about 10 mins. Then turn it back on... it'll be smoother.
