Default 407 Coil Failure

A pal has a 407 on which he's spent much money but there is a problem defeating him and his advisors.
The coil originally failed by leaking all its oil after the ignition was left on for 30 mins. Since then there have been two further brakdowns to the point where the coils cut out and each caused a failure to proceed. This was remedied by allowing them to cool down.
It all suggests that the coils are overheating.
Any ideas why this should be?
