V6 blown coil pack

[EmGee]

Hi all,
I'm a new ZT owner although I've had a TF for a number of years so I'm well used to the challenges of owning one of these cars.
So, no surprise when the new purchase (MG ZT-T V6 SE) decides to strand my wife at ASDA. Turns out that one of the coil packs has blown and I'm not getting any pulses to the ignition system.
OBD shows camshaft sensor issue so I'm hoping that's why it won't start but puzzled as to why the coil pack should let loose.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers

The coil packs do fail occasionally - had to change two in my last 75 V6, and one in my ZS180.

Don't know if the V6's are the same, but had a coil blow on our Rover 25 K Series, and it was due to a shorting control wire from the coil to the ECU. The insulation had rubbed away on a sharp bracket corner.

OK,thanks for that.
I've managed to source one locally so hopefully just a coincidence that this failed at the same time as the camshaft sensor. Watch this space...

Update -
Phone call from my local supplier yesterday - "Just to let you know, that's your wheel bearing arrived."
Wheel bearing? Don't you mean camshaft sensor? :duh::duh:

Update -
New coil pack and camshaft sensor resolved this. The camshaft sensor has to be ordered with a cable (which I didn't initially realise) as the OEM part has this moulded onto the sensor.
Wife now back from Asda and all is well, especially the fridge.
