Spare coil packs available on loan !!!

[DuncanR]

I recently had some work done on the Broom, and before heading off into the "new season" so to speak, I got Murketts to shove new coils onto it/him/her... Murketts have seen a few corroding and failing of late so rather than have the problem right in the middle of a TD or Ring trip, I changed 'em. Which means boys and girls, I have 6 spares which I shall hang onto, albeit that if anyone happens to develop a problem with one of theirs either at the same TD or Ring , or even over a week-end and you cant get hold of one ..... dont ask me cos you aint gettin 'em !
Seriously though if anyone gets stuck give me a shout.
