Just to update spenny. I had the car back and it's running a lot better. Still a slight hesitation when blipping it from idle but the revs need to be adjusted up slightly.

They adjusted the front ride height as per the "front spring recall" and it's terrible! Great on motorways as it doesn't wander but the razor sharp turn-in has disappeared. So it'll be going back... yet again!

How much did they raise it by?

I have more trouble with the rear diffuser over speed bumps and in multi-story car parks than the front. I have even had the two spines on the diffuser graze the ground when hitting a mid-corner compression - but I was 'giving-it some' and it was only the lightest of grazes...

Glad your misfire is better with new leads - maybe the timing / valve clearances needs looking at.

Not sure by how much but I know I don't like it!

As for the hesitation, I'm sure a full tune-up will sort it out, but the bugger can wait until the 12k service in a couple of months.
