Coil is an easy DIY change ~£35-£45 for a new coil and under 30 mins to fit as long as you catch the nuts before they go into the scuttle panel.

Boot lid i'd get some pics up, I was on the look out for a rear lid in decent nick for ages but one nerver turned up in Topaz, you might be more lucky with silver?
