I have an intermittent misfire, driving me nuts.
Changed plugs,still happening but slightly different rev cicumstances, only one cylinder having a rest so assume not a coil. Can only think it's the leads (or probably one lead).

What are the best leads and where do I get them quickly?

Frankly I am getting really off with taking off the air boxes and burning my hands on the water pipes and manifold fiddling around to find the little gremlin!

Magnecours. They are about £100+ a set, and guarenteed for 10 years. Got mine from Joospeed. Give Joolz a ring.

Check the throttle pots as well. They are a favourite of lumpy ride/misfire.

Kojak,

Thanks for the steer. More interestingly thanks for the nuts advice, very TVR!

turned out to be corrosion in the wiring loom
PIN going to the ECU from the Engine bay. ....Maybe worth checking befrore going to too much expense?

Yes, track day photographer who took some decent ones. Old boy came over and asked if I would take him out to show him how a Cerb really goes? I showed him!
