Mine is playing up so i need to change it.
Is it as easy as it looks... e.g. unclip wires, unscrew old coil pack, throw at wall, screw new coil pack in place, replace wires?
Am i liable to get a shock while doing this? I...

was reading autoexpress in the dentists today and renault have a new concept car called zoe. 3 seater! based on the concept that most cars have 1.4 people in them on average and 2 seaters put people off. apparently there is more room inside zoe than in a clio! (but it looks like a twingo to me)...
My car has done 47500 so im just thinking about the 48k service.
It has FRSH up to now and had a wheel bearing done by renault in spetember, and the cambelt, coolant and brake fluid in january because its just gone five years old.
BUT its well out of warrenty sooooooo...
