One thing I always us on cars is OE ignition parts. They spend millions getting it right in the development stage, so why mess?

Update...
I haven't had much time to play, but this weekend I had a quick look.

I started it up no problem, but the engine sounded a bit "mechanical". I took it for a quick drive and within 30 seconds it was misfiring.

When I popped the bonnet up, the mechanical noise seemed to be coming from the N/S back of the engine.

Does this sound like something obvious to you knowledgeable people?

Hi,

Been looking through threads and your problem sounds just like mine (moorej91), my 2.0ltr auto starts first time and runs fine fro about 5 mins then runs really lumpy with no power. Tried loads of things. With no other option I am going to Vauxhall dealer on thursday for diagnostic check. Will let you know the outcome in case it will help you sort yours out.
