So I hooked up the OBD-2 reader: Engine misfire cylinder 1.
I exchanged two "spark plug caps" which is really the ignition coil and
some electronics, one unit per cylinder.


Very unusual way to do things.


Here is the product page:


http://www.thansen.dk/product.asp?pn=-831477966


Price is USD 160, I got an used one for 24USD.


I have considered the Yaris but don't thing I'll ever get one given that
approach.


I find it a good approach, omitting a distributor and 5 cables which
can be attacked by moisture.
Here everything high voltage is sitting nice and dry almost inside the
engine, below a plastic cover.

I've got a Hyundai Getz myself but likely
won't be replacing it unless it breaks dramatically. The previous
VW Golf lasted me 35+ years and I only needed to replace that
when I was stupid enough to no do anything about a known
windscreen leak after a windscreen replacement and that eventually rusted out
the floor and I could be arsed fixing that.

Alas, now it needs a new back door, because wife didn't see I parked the
Landcruiser outside the garage :-(


Should be able to get one of those cheap too given that
most of the writeoffs would be at the other end of the car.


I've sent off enquries to two dealers, including a whole car with front
damage for for 1000USD.
