Or maybe try the coil on the other side of the bulkhead? If you could get a longer lead and make sure it is insulated through a largish hole, would that help? In the cab must be significantly cooler, as your not cooked are you?
That would check the existing coil, and if it happened again, take the other nos one to do a bit of a swap around for the way home? |

Rick, I had a similar experience with an A35 lots of years ago. The problem here was that the coil case was cracked and it had lost most of its oil. It got hot and eventually gave up until it cooled down. I reckon coil substitution should fix the problem

The hottest coil I have ever come across was supposedly an oil filled coil (to aid cooling), where the oil had leaked away over the years. That too brought everything to a standstill after a few minutes as it got hot. I don't recall seeing a coil like the one on your photo and don't know whether it should contain oil or not.
