push the coil and the male L/t wire plug together and push the relese clip and they shoud pull apart.
in good light look at the metal prongs inside female plug socket on the coil
if the metal prongs are a greeny colour then carefully rub them with a small piece of emery paper .
dont go mad though as you dont want to remove the coating on them
if symtoms persist them strip the wire plug its self and clean the contacts.
other option is to slide the wire plug on and off a few times with a little wd40 to clean the contacts
the fault normaly is an earth problem and is read by the mathisis as an earth falure front cylinder
the last bodge is to turn the metal pins inside the coil female plug a few deg to force the contact patch to stay constant
only problem is that the coil Failure normaly leads to the plug to be U/S as well

Had a quick look and a clean up.... Its just the same, No volts = no sparks= dead coil !!
Had a good old look at the Fila.. Thats seems to have the new type coils fitted... So with any luck mine should be ok !!
