Rich Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Coilpack and fresh ignition leads bud.Always a good starting point.Do the plugs too & check the bottom of the HT leads for oil. (a leaking rocker seal would cause this which could give your symptoms) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty by Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 i had a look this morning and when taking the leads the coil and it was a mess, there was a white substance all over the first connection the second two the pin snapped and the last one was stuck in i ended pulling the rubber of the actually connection. i have ordered 4 leads at £18 each and a coil at £130 from vbw will be getting them on tuesday so hopefuly will be all up and running again then.
