Whip the coil cover off, & when it does in next - with the engine running, pop one of the plugs off each coil, one at a time. If the cars revs remain on 4 cylinders once a plugs off a particular coil, that renders it the fault, Hovedan on here is selling Coilpacks on eBay for £14 as I bought one recently..

Or if its an injector, Flea has them & a garage will charge peanuts for swapping a new one, I did one & it cured my injector light, but Christ it was fiddly with poor tool selection!

What a bugger! Doesn't it sound boring on 4 cylinders?

With your probs, Bruce having to collect his car if it's ready, and gripped having mot probs, do you want to postpone this coming Sunday for another?

It would give folks a bit more time to get sorted.
What do you think?

I am easy either way.

I just can't make the 19th due to it being my wedding anniversary.

I should have a definite answer on wether mine will be ready Tuesday.

I really hope it is. I have even insured mine for business use so I can drive it with work. Really intend to use it more than I have in the past. laugh

Jonscoupe. I changed the plugs to cure my intermittent misfire.

So with yourself, Bruce, Morrison and Gripped all up against it to meet this weekend that's half of us ( is it)?

I can make May 24th or 31st if it would be better to postpone?

I don't want to, but then I want the majority to be out on the road.

Answers on a post card please.....

Thanks for the tips.

You happy to take your car as it is, Jon or does it need sorting?

Perhaps we need to have a back up car follow our shaky coupes a la Top Gear?

How about an x plate Hyundai coupe with the surprised headlights? Looks like it's had a grenade shoved up it's exhaust ooo

Yeah happy to proceed as she is H.

The light only comes on start up when hot and goes out after a few minutes so it's not a huge problem.

I know it will be worth the wait, but I really want the car back.

Hi H. If the date gets changed, 24th or 31st would be fine for me.

Anything towards the end of April going into May smile

Shame, but understandable with Bruce out and Gripped and Morrison still in the lurch.

I can't do any more dates in April but I can do those dates in May the 24th n 31st.

Bummer. I might yet still be ok but if you want to postpone that is fine. I can't make the end of may though.

Anyone coming to Brooklsnds ? Looks great !

Shall we leave it until Friday evening and see how things are looking for everyone? Or is that a little late?

If Gripped and Morrison are able to come along, Bruce, did I read you have a GTV Cup as well? Could you bring that? Equally as cool as a 20VT!

How many cars do we have at the moment?

Dont worry about me, I wasnt included in the original pub booking anyway. Doesn't look like mine will be ready in time, maybe I could tag along in the wifes 500, but it is the 1.2 that can't do hills very well. Not ideal up the beacons!! Will need to check with her about using it too.

As the numbers have dropped off a bit we could always just meet up somewhere more central to us all on Sunday.... Somewhere where we don't need to book such as a Harvester!

I'm on hols near St Donats at the mo and the sea air and good beer are working their magic.
Back home late Saturday.
I'm happy to meet up anywhere on the Sunday with or without a drive.
I'm sunburned. In Wales. In April. Magic!
