My engine missfiring was sorted after changing my plugs and coil pack,

does the car idle very badly (revs jumping from time to time)

check the gaps on the plugs' electrodes.

mines is misfiring just now, av had the plugs replaced as it had its service and now am just looking to buy a coil pack, citroen have been bitches i emailed them a part enquiry a week ago an still nuffin. best bet would be to change plugs again and perhaps a new coil pack after that.

SiMan was your car misfiring before you changed your plugs?

craigy_87 - you are probably better off ordering from eurocarparts if citroen are giving you a hard time... it may well be cheaper from them aswell...
