Traveled down to Holt from Kendal, 10 miles from Holt and it starts miss firing
Codes 0300 and 0307 but think I miss counted and the 7 should be a 6! Hoping it's spark plugs. up to Cromer in
the morning for some spark plugs and tools! Because I forgot to pack the tools, hoping it's not coil pack!!

Rain ingress :-\

Went thru some rain but wouldn't think it was enough to cause any problems

I'm no expert (far from it) but I would think that coil pack failure is more likely than plug failure.
It could be something unrelated to either.
Oil in plug wells?

Trying plugs first they are cheaper! and got to by tools too

If its been raining, and got thro the scuttle and on to the coil pack, then its a coilpack out and dry it out.also get all the water out of the wells.

Yep.....the 135 coil pack on my old Omega was extremely rusty. :-\

If water related it usually dries out and behaves after a while. Assuming the coil pacs are in good nick.
If you get the light come on permenantly. Stop. Re start from ignition off and will re activate that cylinder after the ecu shuts it off. Unless its a constant fault, in that case it should be easy to diagnose with plugs out etc.

All sorted, turned out to be coil pack, no 6 looks to be rusted out, got a secondhand one from lowestoft, got it cheap too :y

Excellent , another mig cheap fix :y
