Embarrasing today.
After my misfiring issue the other day I thought all was done. Drove to work today to find it's back. Got here. Got under the bonnet and it looked like one of the sparks is blacked at the outside end. Unfortunately I have no telescopic spanners (thats what I said and I'm sticking with it) to get the sparks out. So whilst my mech is local to work I chucked it in with him to do (I know. Embarrasing as hell).
He had a look and it transpires it wasn't the spark (to be fair I could only see the outside connect) and was in fact the HT lead. Will pick her up later, just cannot understand what happened. Maybe a lead was resting against something hot and melted.
Eitherway I go to my mechanic having lost any mechanical credibility I had before and will hang my head in shame.
Unfortunately I'll prob have to spend more money as I was hoping to upgrade the HT's as and when. Might get some nice blue ones! ;)
