I had a full service and plug change done about 10 days ago at Penfolds Lewisham and have done about 50 miles since the service.

Yesterday, I took the car out, and once it had warmed up, I felt a single missfire and after a minute or so a couple and over a period of the 20 minutes needed to get the car back home it became worse and worse.  Mostly at low revs but getting worse.  After about 15 minutes of this the EML came on.  I did the pedal test and got the codes 0300 and 0305.  There was also a 1613 code which I think was caused by a faulty transponder in the spare key I was given when I bought the car and the key has since been reprogrammed.

Plan of action is first to replace the plug in pot 5 (will probably do all 3 just in case!) and if fault continues, replace the coil pack.

One question I have is "does the EML on the dashboard reset itself when it finds the problem solved"?

Secondly, does the above plan seem OK as I know nothing yet about maintaining a V6.

Thanks all.

EML should go out when an issue is fixed, the fault codes will remain untill they are cleared though.
