......, et je parle courament

Do you mean couramment?       (That's what Google said!  )

touché, I always relied on the spell checker, even for english...

I only found it cos I had to search for a translation.   The biggest French word I could understand was parle.

Ok just did a quick check on left bank and found cyl 1 is not sparking, no juice coming to the plug.  2 and 3 are sparking fine.  Lost the light so I am looking for a torch to go and look at the lead/DIS connection, if thats ok then looks like I will have to shell out 200euros

Have a word with these people, I know the one advertised isn't for the Omega but he might have one in stock, and a lot cheaper than main stealer http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COIL-PACK-VAUXHALL-VECTRA-2-5-V6-incl-GSI-DIS-UNIT_W0QQitemZ360031267629QQihZ023QQcategoryZ10404QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD4VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m124

isnt that the one I need?

Ok just gained access to the DIS, no apparent damage to the box but pulled out all leads and put them back in again, no change.  Leads still in good condition so is the non-sparking plug that I pulled.

Got to be the DIS right?

swap 2 leads over on the DIS ...and the plugs of course !!  if the misfire moves to the other plug, its the lead, if it stays put its either the plug or the DIS. Now swap the plugs over somewhere... if the misfire moves its the plug .. if it stays put its the DIS ...

logical sequential changing of working/nonworking to track the fault ... 30 minutes work may save you chaning the DIS ... or will confirm the DIS is faulty on that one point

Ok just finished my diagnostic, well sort of....   As it was the longest plug lead I couldent get any other to fit over the plenum but considering the leads are 12-18 months old I doubt that it would be the leads.  I swapped the plugs though and no change to cyl 1.

So I am about to email the guy with the veccy 2.5 DIS pack on fleabay.  Is it the same?  I think it is but then I'm no expert on this part of the engine.  Cdertainly looks the same....
