Hello, folks. Not all my cylinders were firing awhile back so I checked the plugs, coils and HT leads. Found the plug in cylinder 3 to be at fault so replaced. Now today when I fired her up have found cylinder 1 to not be firing.
The plugs were all brand new about a month before the first died.
Could this be a bad batch of plugs or could my coils/HT leads be packing in after there 'little swim' ?

Re: Cylinder's not firing
when you say number 1 is not firing have you checked it with a different spark plug to elimate that?you could also swap a lead over to test if its the lead thats at fault?
and you say there 'little swim' as water and electrics dont go so this could be the cause of your problem.

Re: Cylinder's not firing
if youre after a set of coils ive got a near brand new set her, covered about 1500 miles, 25 quid delivered, could easily be leads or a bad batch of plugs, and this weather doesnt help, wouldnt be a bad idea to coat all your electrics in wd40
