Well that's it ..... I've had enough  :(

I can't work out the spark test thing, and I can't find anything else 'wrong'.
I'm going to have to try and find a suitable garage / mechanic to have a look at it for me; if I can find one I can trust  :-X AND who knows what he's talking about  :D

Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has offered advice, etc - it is very much appreciated  :y

I didn't want to let it beat me, but I think it has  :'(

If you were trying the device I tried to explain Jonny,I should have said - the other nail needs to have a wire going from it to ground.
Dont know if that helps any.Dont give up mate. ;)

Yes I was still thinking about those, but didn't really want to 'put you out' or cause any hassle if I couldn't prove mine were faulty  :-X
It is such a generous offer though, so maybe I should just carry on and give it another go?

I'll get back to you tomorrow tunnie  :y

PM sent Jonny. If you want to sort out some cheap sleazyjet flights over a weekend / set of restdays, I'll come over FOC and have a long day looking at this for you, given the crazy amount of hassle and expense you've had.

If I do - I wouldn't mind taking those Coil packs with me JIC. Although I agree with Mark about the likelyhood, it would be nice to have any spares necessary. If that happens Tunnie, we'll work out a way to get them over to Aylesbury over the next week or so...

Sounds like a plan is forming here. I'm planning to be back Brackley way at the weekend, why Aylesbury? Did not know you were over that way James?

Sure we can find somewhere in between Saturday  :y

Thanks a lot James, it may come to that!
Nipped out this morning and had a more patient attempt at the spark  ;)
Not a great set up I admit, and I was able to make it adjustable,  but I only got a spark on all three (1-3-5) at around 10mm ish. Ironically it seemed that no 1 was the strongest?
Not sure what that means overall, but judging from previous advice I should be getting a stronger spark than that? Codes still show misfire on 1 and 4, so not sure the apparently poor spark is having an effect. As said though, it could be the setup.
I'll need to try the other side now for comparison I suppose.

Sorry tunnie, missed that, but thank you  :y

Just before we seriously look at booking flights... has this been compression tested? I know nothing should have affected the compression... but I'd hate to come all that way just to say "yea, no compression, engine's screwed mate"... might be worth you getting a gunson compression tester and seeing what each pot returns... :y :y

No mate, not yet. I'm having to book it in locally I think and hope that the problem may be properly found, and ultimately, fixed  :y

Cant believe that OOF hasnt managed to come up with the answer in the end.It doesnt happen very often. Would have probably been easier if you were located where someone could nip over and take a look without having to resort to sleazyjet etc. :(
