Quite depressed really. Now car has started misfiring. It goes after about 6 miles. Where should I start looking?

Oil in plug wells? Plugs? but they were new 2 years ago when I changed leads and then the DIS pack(which was actually the fault).

 

[henryd]

how many miles in those two years ?

[Varche]

Not a lot. five thousand.

I have a mystery water loss too. I thought I had found the problem - heater matrix. But that is bypassed and no different. Not HBV chnaged that and no difference. I keep thinking deep down that the head gasket has gone.

If it's on it's way out u cud try 'K-Seal' which is american & guarantees to stop any leak (not tried it on me grandmother who's got incontinence!!  ).
Have used it on radiator & hbv & worked a treat 

[henryd]

+1 on the K seal,its good stuff and does not bung anything up(except the leaks of course )

Hiya using additives to stop leakes is a short term fix and usually causes other problems. so can be expensive later on. imho.

compression test when engine cold and after one spoon of oil for every cylinder and again compression test..
