    then coming off motorway this afternoon, suffered a power loss. the car feels & sounds like its running on 3 cylinders [:^(]

    so far compression test ok
    spark plugs renewed
    reasonble good spark to all plugs dizzy cap/arm needs renewing, but not effecting spark too much (halfords didn't list cap/arm)
    water temp sensor changing resistance with heat, don't have correct values avaible

    multi plug above gearbox unscrewed wd40'ddid notice selection of pins looked red/bronze all others silver, but not rust [:v:]

    planning to check injectors in morning, if their all spraying
