Default Esc Cos running on 2 cylinders only

Went out in the Cossie yesterday as I had to.

Drove home from work today and had a slight misfire at higher revs. Nothing to worry about, probably just bad plugs which I was going to replace later today. Got about half way into my journey home and all of a sudden it started running on 2, then 4, then 2 cylinders. Coasted to a very nearby parking area next to the road and she died on the spot.

We've got absolutely NO idea what's wrong. Coil is brand new, changed the plugs on the scene, tested the plugs and leads and every plug got a good spark. We're baffled as to what it is.

Will probably need a new block as I think that a rod has snapped but this ain't gonna happen as we're planning on building our own house this year. This would mean that the Cossie is going into sale OR into hibernation for a couple of years.

More updates tomorrow (I hope).
