Take your car to TGM in fleet (hampshire) They are very well thought of by all the Honda clubs (DC2, DC5, us and a few others)

Or let Puppy have a look and see if it's an easy fix (or take it to TGM after )

No that is just the reverb from the tunnel run Fri night

The waves should be hitting the US about now

Before we go running up a nice big garage bill, lets see if the plugs are firing shall we ?

Better to have a look yaself / or me than to get an hours labour from a garage.

bought it 3 months ago..... could be a case for trading standards then I guess.

I bought a car that had a missfire - however the car had a load more problems, the garage didnt want to know until I got trading standards involved.

They threatened to seize and check every car on his forecourt as they thought mine my have been clocked. He then gave me a full refund and sent a trailer 100 miles to pick up my car!

I'M BACK!!!!!!! As is my car. I have been outside with the AA for the last 90 mins or more, he had all the sparks out and finally located the problem to the injector on cylinder 1. He swapped it with the injector on cylinder 2 and it was fine!! He reckons I could do with some new plugs and probably some new injectors or could I use a petrol cleaner/treatment? Anyway, touch wood all is back to normal.

Thanks to everyone for your help and advice, especially Puppy and his offer to give up his lunch time in order to help someone he has never meet (unless you include loudly blatting past me on his way into Maidenhead of a morning!).

Once again thanks to all!
