i decided to remove the top sparky to make sure there was a spark... well there was, but it was arcing out straight onto the head and not to the electrode. so a simple wipe with the most oiliest of rags and back against the head to test the spark... it was like a 5,000,000 candle watt torch going off in me face!

brill!

I had a similar problem with rough running and went and bought some new plugs which made no difference. Spent a while (!) sodding about and then decided to try some old plugs which I had lying around. She ran like a dream so I took the "new" plugs back and tried some NGK ones and all was fine.

Not sure what the moral is, but hey.....
