'dangle berries' to it, I'll have a quick look in the morning and see if I can pinpoint it.

Anyone know how to test leads and DIS?

Leads is a level resistence across the set of 6. DIS pack is basically a swap out with a known good one. On removing the DIS pack, look for corrosion/rus on the bottom of it and separation of the plastic insulation. Sure sign of it being damaged.

Beer 1st definitely.

If your'e really going to smash the b******d to smithereens, could you possibly do a DVD?
Then I can play it on an in-car DVD player and frighten the sh**e out of mine [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

So what can cause a misfire?

Faulty DIS
Faulty Leads
Fault plugs  (brand new - one had cracked when Tunnie and I checked, so replaced the set)
Leaky rocker gasket

Any other cause?
