Just had to say a very big thankyou to Daz (loo-knee) for popping round to give his opinion on my missfire while in my area, and staying for nearly 5 hours doing my camcover gasket, breathers and an oil/filter change. Didn`t expect him to stay and do all that when all i asked for was an opinion or guidance. True OOFer of the first degree. Taught me an important lesson as well. Never, never put off that oil and filter change to next week, cause it never comes. Also found out that the garage that did my camcovers, plug and lead change only changed the drivers bank gasket (and used wrong sealant. Grey instead of black) did change all leads but possibly only 5 of the 6 plugs because one plug well on the passenger side bank was full of oil and the plug was too tight to remove. (discretion the better part of valour here today in case the plug snapped.) Still got a missfire, much to Daz`s dismay, and thinking now is the plug they didn`t change is faulty. Off to the garage tomorrow to see what they have to say. Thanx again to Daz and hope you didn`t get in too much trouble with the missus for being late back.

Great to meet you Rob & your Mrs:y
Shame I didn't eat all your chocolate biscuits though

I still reckon the garage you took your car too, decided that as they could not get the rear passenger side plug out (it is unbelieveably tight and I did not fancy breaking it) they left it in also leaving it full of oil. You can't check very easy that side like you can the drivers so perhaps they felt safe knowing that.
I would go down that route, hoping that the plug is naff and definately not being changed at all, (as like you say you have only done ten miles since having the job done and there is no way that plug would be so tight if only just changed) before going and buying a dispack, plus the fact that the garage claim to have changed all the plugs which obviously they have not
Good luck with it mate and let me know how you get on tomorrow, even give me a call whilst you are there if they try and fill you full of shit
