Pop out the bank1, drivers side coilpack

You're looking for any of the following:

1. Evidence of water or oil in the plug wells, especially the middle one, plug 3.
2. Cracking or corrosion on the visible surfaces of the coil pack.
3. Loose plugs, again plug 3 in particular.
4. Any sign that the wiring to the coil pack plug is breaking down, either brittle or corroded.

Solutions, see maintainance guides for how tos:

1. If water, dry out and also re seal the scuttle.
     If oil then the cam cover gaskets need doing along with the breathers.
2. Replace the coilpack, they can look pretty shabby and be fine, but if alot of rust and     cracking replace it.
3. Tighten the plugs.
4. Last resort this one, and for now unlikely, new loom.

For peace of mind if you find 1,2 or 3, check the other side

The light might annoy you but unlikely to kill it

Fwiw mine has been on so long that the bulb has blown

[tunnie]

Mine has done 119000,the pedal test came up 0300 can anyone shed any light,

0300 random/multiple misfires,what could this point to,

Also 0303 number 3 cylinder misfire....

Kinda points to pot 3 then 

or 1/3/5 coil pack 

Yup, but better off starting with the plugs first
