0300 is the code for random miss-fire. On it's own it doesn't tell us anything usefull.

What are the symptoms?

When were the spark plugs last replaced? Any oil or water in the plug wells?

Doesn't matter particularly  ;)

Either water or oil in the plug wells ;)

Remove coil pack(s) and report back  :y

Good news.

Did you find oil or water in the plug wells? If so you need to seal the cam-covers or scuttle (or both) to prevent re-occurance.

If you found oil in plug wells it means cam cover gasket/s  have failed & will need replacing. If not it will just re occur rather rapidly.
If you found water there , the scuttle needs looking at to prevent this happening again. ;)
