whyallapunk Member 22 Member For: 15y 9m 24d Posted 09/06/10 03:11 AM Share Posted 09/06/10 03:11 AM Hey all,Went out an industrial area near me to give the BA a bit fun. In third gear at around 5000rpm the battery failed. The engine died and the battery and oil lights came on, the steering and brakes also were basically non-existant. Tried it again last night to see if I got the same and this time it happened in 2nd gear. The car starts back up fine though. Was wondering if anyone knows what the problem is?

Is there any struggling as it reaches 5000rpm?

whyallapunk Member 22 Member For: 15y 9m 24d Posted 09/06/10 09:20 AM Author Share Posted 09/06/10 09:20 AM Yeh a bit. How much would a new set of coil packs set me back? Is there a way to tell if they are worn? and how easy is it to do yourself?
