Ok will get pics if possible tomorrow of the pack and plugs...pack looks mint condition though...going to take the throttle body off while I'm there and give it a good spray and soak with carb cleaner as it look pretty mucky...

I unplugged the EGR...supposed to be a potential problem on these...made no difference, does that mean its goosed?? Or do you need to something specific to test it??

Took the coil pack off...looks new, no oil etc in plug wells, clean contacts all round

The misfire seems to be consistent though...slight misfire on startup with reasonable acceleration, then after a minute or so, or maybe acceleration over 3000rpm it gets a fair bit worse and acceleration is poor

Well on basis that a full service including cambelt was done 2k ago I will have a look at the breather system first...where is it??

Have improved the misfire a little as found one of the pipes from the plastic airflow thing had a split in it...cut the pipe down and its definitely a little better

Only code coming up anywhere is P303 misfire on cylinder 3...also P300 multiple misfire when using the older "My Naff Code Reader" software but not with the later software...

Thanks Andy B  I meant the layout of the engine, not the spark plugs lol Looks like it has a coil pack rather than plugs/leads??
