have you done any tests to see if you can norrow it down, like reving it until it misfires and then taking a plug lead off, then swaping a plug to see if the misfire moves, you could do the same with the injectors

or just put the car on a diagnostic machine at a local garage, might cost Ł40 depending on where you are

a mate of mine many years a go had a 1986 d reg xr31, the coil pack went on that, and the 1990 xr3i cab that i had the fuel pump went, cant you call out the AA or RAC to check or get a local garage to call round

do you think it could be a blocked injector
