nogE 91 Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) just received this email from accuspark.. Hello All our ebay questions are answered 100 % If they are not answered they are not being received , I can't help you about specific sale as Accuspark have half a dozen sellers on ebay and I have no way of knowing from who it has been purchased . If if the coil is leaking it needs to be replaced , the oil is a coolant for the internal coils . You need to contact the ebay shop through the item and request a replacement then they will will have all your details to sort out your problem , If there is a problem it will be dealt with, as I said if you do not get a reply it is because the question has not been received .

G.O 17 Posted August 8, 2013 Oil leaking doesn't sound right to me, I'd be wanting it replaced. They get fitted upside down on the Lotus Cortinas, they would last very long if oil leaked out :unsure: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
