Sorry, it was a naff joke. I was referring to the cat.

Car (Impreza Turbo) misfiring and with my local garage since Thursday. Replaced leads, no effect. Replaced coil pack, no effect. Fuel filter bypassed and the engine runs perfectly so fuel filter replaced. Engine still misbehaving so they are looking at the fuel pump now. All this after an interim service the week before. Not happy relying on Ms Grumpy to drive me around. It's lucky I am retired and don't need to commute to work any more since I live in the sticks.

I had 3 garages look at my car trying to work out what was causing my misfire. One post on my cars owners forum and they got it in one: fuel injectors. I changed them myself and it runs sweet now

Snap, me too!

I mentioned injectors to the garage. They dismissed the idea as unlikely. This could get expensive. Having said that, the car has done 112,600 miles with hardly anything going wrong since I bought it new in 1998 so I shouldn't really grump.

It's very easy to check yourself. Just measure the resistance between the two connections on each injector. They should be all the same resistance. The good ones in my car were ~14 ohms and the bad ones were ~90 ohms

Or just unplug an injector at a time, when you unplug one and the engine doesn't change its running that's the faulty injector.

Paying £81 to tax the bike for a year while the wife's Audi A3 diesel costs nothing.

Three driver pulling out on me on roundabouts and one just half overtaking then deciding to squeeze me out of the lane all in one day. Had my son on the back too so I was far for sensitive than usual to these things.
