Could be a few issues...

Check the plug wells for oil.
Check in the dark (I.E. now!) for any stray arcing.
Check the padding under the skuttle panel for wetness.

Or as you ain't far away, pop over to me in the morning and I'll have a look for you :y

our 2.5 had underload missfire, it was finally cured after replacing plugs, leads,coilpack, rockergaskets and a good clean of the breathers :y
