Unhappy A five cylinder flat 6 ... !

This morning, when i fired my SVX up, I almost instantly detected a misfire from the engine.
30 seconds later I heard that the engine was only running on five or less cylinders ....
After an hour of testing and switching cables and coils and sparkplugs, I discovered that a ignition-coil was dead!
Ok, let's see ... A how many have been imported to Sweden....eeeh,11 I guess , and let's see 11 cars between the years -92 and -97 .... -how many spareparts are there in stock......and what will they cost???? .... 1 $zillion I guess..!! and probably not in stock..!!

So I called my Subaru dealer and gave him my situation.....
ok, I'll check he replied, -call you back!
An hour later he calls, -Sure i have found ONE .... in Sweden....
and the cost is ......700 kr. (about $85 .. or £70) including VAT..!!

WOW...is'nt life amazing sometimes
