No 3 loose which means for 10 months including the tune its been like this .

Can't always blame the fitter. Imagine your block gets pretty hot!

Should be nice now

It's such a mixture of relief and annoyance when something so simple has been giving you grief for so long. I wasted £200 and the best part of a year trying to diagnose a fault that turned out to be a dodgy brake pedal sensor on my clio, a £10 replacement and 5 minutes to fit it and all was fixed.

Heat, expansion...

I've had mine work loose, but i check mine a couple of times shortly after fitting them. I checked them about 4 month after and rock solid

If the coilpack didn't have a bolt on or they were even more loose, it could have been worse.
