That's a pain, mate.

Plugs, leads, DIS pack? If you've got Bosch plugs, that's where I would look first.

Well check the obvious first (ie plug leads cooked in oil?) but I suspect it will be the DIS pack.

Yeah, we'll be fighting for that at this rate!  :D

Timbuk, you don't need us to tell you that it's the DIS after pouring the entire contents of your cooling system on it on the M6. I wonder why the plastic screws are missing from your scuttle?  ;) :)
