i thought if the diss pack was on its way out you tend to loose 2 cylinders. sure ive been told that.

Dont know about that ? The car is def not running on 4 cyl ...i can drive the car slowly and it sounds ok its just when i accelerate say more than 30 mph its a problem .

Passenger side rear spark plug removal ....what can i say 
After a long day i have managed to replace all the spark plugs , the rear passenger one was the toughest to remove and looking at the plug looks like its never been changed .


My question now is : how on earth can i access the diss pack , i can just about feel where it is but cant see whats holding it in let alone reach it ??

I think the dis-pack not working- 2 cylinders could be correct as i think it works in 3 sets of 2 (1/4, 2/5, 3/6)
As for checking the leads you can pull them off while cars running and listen for change in engine noise and look for spark jumping- no change or spark=no good.  Then you can swap that lead for one you know works and if still no different then dis pack prob gone/ leads prob ok.  Hope this and my PM's help.

Im finding it challenging thats for sure , no easy way to get to the diss pack as ive found out unless you use the vx way 
Hopefully when i have done the check on the leads the plugs were the problem but at least ill know whats next

Yeah i was up on the engine, 1 knee on the battery and 1 on the air intakes, does your back in pretty quick too!
Good luck with it , hope you have more luck than i have!

Speaking to a mechanic "non vx" and he said yep common omega problem diss packs done loads of them , im guessing cos they use pattern parts that dont last long  Even he said good luck with that and keep plenty of plasters handy . One job im sure i wont forget in a hurry but will be wiser to do next time
