Thanks mate, going to strip it down tonight and have a look.I changed spark plugs yesterday its no better. I got a sneaky suspition it is something with rain or dampness and the custom cover is letting water into the leads. After we fitted the plugs last night we took it a good blast with no problems and now its back to the misfire sensor putting it in safe mood. FIngers crossed :thumbsup

The red leather handbrake & gearstick gaiters - the bits you hate I hope ;) To be fair, the bright red tat gearknob & handbrake handle wouldn't be my first choice either...

Was beginning to worry about you for a minute... :damnfunny

Why - they don't have gaiters as standard, they're addons (and dodgy ones at that ;))

Still, your car, your call :mrgreen:

Edited to add grubby standard interior example:
