Just wanted to post A BIG THANKYOU to CaptainZok & his crew for looking at my car yesterday 
No fault codes found. Found oil in no.6 spark plug & the plug was also knackered!
Told me the camcover gaskets need replacing & the Cat's are buggered - but apart from that everythings hunky dora!
Trouble is the cars STILL misfiring (even more so now!) so back to the drawing board 
UNLESS ANYONE'S GOT ANY IDEAS  !!!

if you have done the plugs and have got no codes stored then ht leads would be my next port of call

[Entwood]

Just stuck this in another thread.. might might equally apply here .. :

If the plug wells were full of oil it is posible the leads themselves have been damaged, hot oil and rubber don't sit well together ( no pun intended    )

And long term misfiring can cause the dispack to fail...as can water ingress through the gap between the 2 scuttle parts

Many thanks for that. How much would it cost to replace the HT leads if done by a garage?  :-/

Alot depends on if you have Vauxhall leads which are £200 plus depends on how much the garage want to take your pants down.....
Halfords sell Bosch leads if I remember rightly for about £60 but they are long enough to be continued It isn't to bad of a job Tony Gnome (Zok Jnr) will be able to fix you up there no problem
