Hi, Just had big problems with mine, misfiring, got it checked out and No1 plug was getting no spark so was diagnosed as the coil pack failure but even after this was replaced it was still not running smooth, so garage said that it is the camshaft sensor , so had this done this week and evertything is great now, luckily my Cat Converter is not damaged ( cost £450  all in for parts/labour)

The mis fire was not too bad it was just the 1 cylinder down ( nearest to radiator on drivers side) i drove around with it for few weeks but was painfully rough and severe lack of power. I never had any EML light at all which i thought strange.
Good luck mate.

Can you remember what they charged you for parts Jack. I hav'nt found out what a DIS pack costs yet.

The coil pack cost 150 and the camshaft sensor 75, both genuine from VX ( might get some cheaper from ebay but just wanted car back on road quickly) think they charged me 4 hours labour. oh well glad to have it back and running great. Jack
