My Griff had a severe mis-fire which cleared, worried i popped the bonnet to find 4&7 exhaust manifold glowing, having never popped the bonnet at night, surely its not right ? It was a gentle pootle back from the office on a cold night, the temp guage was normal. I have had bad start problems when the engine is hot, ie cranking for a minute before starting. I will speak to the "modders" on Monday but seekingr a quick pointer, thought i would ask here.

Could be a couple of duff injectors not opening properly or the wires are a bit manky in the terminal making those 2 run very week

Think i saw a thread on this a few weeks back, would think what the Guru just said could well be the problem. Hope you get it sorted.

Anyway no more driving till you've done my wires

David just had a quick look back but cant find the thread i was looking for but on another one a guy a had the same symptoms from a duff spark plug.

So maybe a ignition problem.

Good luck & you have my number if needed.
