First off i was up early for footy, no biggy.

Driving home the cat rusts through and im sounding like a truck so its funny we all have a laugh. but now ill need to buy a decat pipe a wee bit ahead of schedule.

Then nearly home and it starts miss firing like a mofo so i struggle to get it to my work and one of the mechanics and i have a look at it.

We patched up the exhuast as best we could but where it has rusted through makes it difficult.

On to the misfire. We take off the coil and take out the plugs. Plugs are fine. So test the ignition coil and cylinders 2 + 3 are dead as fuck. And being a saturday i cant get a new coil for love or offers of free sex smileys/gay.gif

sooooo we use a coil for a 1.1 106 and some leads and after a few hours faffing around we eventually get it running sweet as and after a test run im good to go then on the way home it starts misfiring again and i nearly very nearly didnt make it away from a set of lights.

But its home now and its not moving til i get a new coil and cat pipe for it. smileys/smiley7.gif smileys/smiley19.gif smileys/smiley3.gif
