I bought an ebay one and it lasted about 6 weeks. Unfortunately it crapped out whilst we were on our way up north so a Repco replacement (also aftermarket) was all I could get on the day. It has lasted a couple of months so far with no probs. I've got a Ford one ready to go on so I'll just see how the Repco one goes. You may have been unlucky but it's a reasonable proposition that aftermarket may not be as reliable as original. |

Quite common problem for older AU's
Never used a cheapo one, always genuine |

I bought a Delphi brand coil pack from ebay for $100 about 3 months ago and havent had any issues to date - touchwood.
