I can't tell from the photos if Mr Stig's vehicle has a military cross member or not, but it should have.

Is misfiring a sign of bad seals?
I noticed last night after my lift home that she is firing on less than 5 cylinders... wondering if this is related or a sign of a different problem...
Thanks |

| Bizarrely the last few mornings it's back to normal, no problem starting... is this normally an intermittent problem at first? |
