X.3445 - IGNITION COIL EX CHASSIS 58-S7.
IGNITION COIL EX CHASSIS 44-G7.

It has transpired that we were in error in putting down the faults on the above two coils, reported in our EFC1/T2.4.24 and EFC6/T4.4.24, respectively, as faults of the secondary winding.

It now appears that the symptoms, which symptoms were correctly recorded, should have been ascribed to the known fault in these coils of a partial failure of the insulation of the primary winding.
