drove my car to pick up my kid and on the way there everything was fine no problems but on the way home soon as i started the car the engine sounded lumpy no power under accelaration and the exhaust sounds louder (popping and stuff) my first thought was that the downpipe had snaped or my turbo was knackered but when i toke it to the local garage he thinks it running on three cylinders and its either the one of the coilpack or an injector. when he lifted one of the plugs of the injectors it didnt make any difference to how it run but on the other three it did. oh and forgot to mention the eggy smell. ive had this eggy smell before when one of the boost pipe blow off the smic so i thought it might be this but i cant see any pipes off either! help please as its getting looked at in the morning and dont want them replacing the wrong things and charging me i would rather go there knowing roughly what it could be by people in the know.cheers in advance adam

To the tune of the old Tony Hart programme Heartbeat:

"Coil pack, dunnu dun dun dun dunna"

It's gets said so much people are thinking up more interesting ways of saying it

Anyway the second line of the song -
Cooooopra why do u miss when a coilpack breaks down
