managed to solve the problem I think,

the no6 plug lead in a word is f****d hence the misfire the first time.

the reason it wouldnt start the second time is because 2 and 4 lead were the wrong way round as i made a mistake looking at the key for a different coil when mine is the early one and the other way round.

thanks to Steve (tigers gonads) for coming round, nice guy.

Going to buy a new set of leads tomorrow and hopefully all will be well.....

Nice to put a face to a name 

Give us a update when you get the leads sorted

Just hope my theory is correct.

Any banging or poping or does it just die ?

Vacuum leak ?

[tigers_gonads]

Right, i've got simon on the phone now 

He has just disconected the maf and it starts and runs but hunts between 500 and 2000 revs  :-/

Any idea's ?

As per Albs, vac leak, & sounds like knackered MAF. Carb cleaner around all the vac connections, listen for changes in the engine note

[RobG]

Can you swap your MAF over see what happens then. If it`s the MAF I`ve got one here for a 3.0ltr

At one point, one of the ht leads fell apart.

This has now been replaced but could it have caused a spike somewhere and breaked something up ?

Thought about the carb cleaner but the engines hunting that much ( with the maf disconected ) that you couldn't tell anyway 
It won't run without the maf plug out.
Would a vac pipe cause it to die but by disconecting the maf,  it runs  :-/

My car is in pieces 
I am 7 miles away from him 

[tigers_gonads]

Off topic here, is the 2.5 and 3ltr maf the same ?

Are you near to him to try your MAF to eliminate whether that`s the cause
