UPDATE: Well the car has just limped home, I've now dumped it outside and I'm prepared to let it rot.

I changed the plugs today for the NGK8s and that made fook all difference, what I did notice however was number 1 and 4 were soaked, even though the car had been standing all night, is this right?

I pulled up at a junction earlier and the oil light flickered on, revs didn't die though, then the light was on more than it was off. Parked it and did some bits in town, came back and it wouldn't start for about 2 mins...

Now all this combined with the misfire really makes me wonder if the bottom end has given up. My mate had exactly the same problem with his engie and it turned out to be a crack inbetween bores 3 and 4...

Now I've got to make a decision, do I bring forward my planned engine swap (low comp 1.6) or do I try and get to the bottom of the problems I having with this one, bearing in mind there are no tuners over here

ANY comments welcome...
