HAHAHA!!!

Brought up by a mechanic.... no choice!

Well its in the garage today and tomorrow... Someone else suggested it might be the coil pack... Apparently a common problem?
Its currently having new spark plugs, new oil filter, oil change, new fuel filter... if this doesn't work Im going to get new leads and a new coil pack....

My poor baby needs a lot of TLC, tis a good project tho!
Wanna get some springs to lower it to begin with, so if anyone knows of any let me know!

coilpack seems to be a commen problem on every car ever made. Bet its not your coilpack.

OK so more work in the garage being done, mis firing from cylinder 2 and 3 - bad times - normally this means either headgasket or spark plugs so Ive asked for a compression test to be done to figure this out....
Any one heard of something similar?
I think I might just replace the head gasket and the coil pack any way... thought!?

replacing the head gasket to cure a misfire seems a little over the top, unless its showing other signs of gasket failure?
