Miss Fire, weekend ruined.

Get a code reader, they are cheap enough to buy and will serve you well into the future of this cars ownership.

Coils or sh***y fuel/crap in tank is my guess.

Well update, it’s not the coils. Took the cover off and unplugged them each in turn, obvious misfire from each one when unplugged. So I have realised the intermittent spluttering isn’t coming from that. Perhaps it’s a fuel issue, I have bought a Carly, but am also going to take it to the Indy... glad I didn’t buy 6 coils!

This is why I shouldn’t try and diagnose things, Indie says it’s the Coil pack on one cylinder So is going to change them for me, Will see if that fixes it!! Carly on its way anyway!

Coil pack failure is more pronounced under load.

All resolved chaps, was the Coils. Thanks for all your advice, saved me a lot of worry and general messing about. Will be plugging in the Carly this weekend for a play and explore. If anyone is in Hampshire and wants to use it, let me know!

No mechanic here either. Coil packs are a very doable job though. Hopefully that will sort it.
Take a look at this video.
