Update: just had my order confirmed for delivery on the 19th for the coating. Only 1 month and 1 day since ordering lol. Also, someone asked how I got on with EZ fallout remover. Used on my well maintained silver car and still managed to get plenty of bleeding. Great value for money. Even put...

Still pending delivery date. Thanks, sons crying.

Honestly, give Polar Seal a go. 3 cap fills, 400ml of water and go to town. Smells like old mans aftershave (in a nice way) and for how quick it is to apply, it lasts really well. Did the old mans car after a spray decon and it's still going 5 weeks on. Not as beady but acceptable.

Let us know what you think of the wet coat. I've got polar seal at the moment and its epic

I really hope so. Got a few places to test this product. I've ignored them trying to get me to cancel so I'll hopefully receive it soon. Let us know when you get it?

No such luck for me. They've just told me they will email when they have a delivery date. I assume because they want me to cancel as it was so cheap. @Sunglasses_Ron I ordered the same day as you and I haven't had anything yet. What have you been bribing amazon with aye?

That can be done! 😉

I just feel that throwing parts at something to solve an issue is an expensive way to do things. If it's your daily, sure, get it fixed asap. But this is a weekend car for me so I have the luxury of time to be able to diagnose and then be specific. I'm glad the character of the car makes up...

Well chaps. After a short test drive (on public land of course as my mot has expired) I can safely say it was injectors all along. So. All you gits that said injectors early on, you can be feeling pretty smug round about now 😂😂. Thanks for everyones help. Especially @william84

Just switched injectors. Feels lumpy but better. Maybe I'm just used to the daily. No flashing light just yet. THIS COULD IT BE LADS

After switching injector 4 and 1, the fault has moved to cylinder 1. To eliminate not knowing which way my obd scanner reads, I'm going to switch cylinder 1 and 2. If the fault moves to cylinder 2, its injector located in cylinder 2. If not, it's the injector located in cylinder 4. Back soon.

Having thought about this, surely it means that the leads and coils are fine. When I switched the leads around, it still showed the same fault. I'm going to switch the injectors from cylinder 1 and 4. If the fault moves then it must be injector based. If not, its spark plug based.

Switching 1 and 4 made it actually run so that would be that. Unfortunately, it's still showing cylinder 4 misfire. What does that mean?

Switching the 2 plugs made it run the worst I've ever heard. And it was making it pop and bang really bad so I cut it after a second or two.

Just about to go test this.

And the f**kery continues 😂

Okay so. Swapped a spare injector into cylinder 4. Still idles like crap. Waited the near 5 minutes for it to throw its fault and again, cylinder 4 fault flashing eml. This is making me think the leads or coil are faulty? Anyone?

Okay. Brilliant news. After 10 mins of idling, the eml starts flashing and I've had cylinder 4 misfire. I'll do the usual checks once its cooled down and report back.

Morning all. At the car. With the ignition on but engine off, I've cleared all the faults. Now cant get the eml light back on 😂. Its still not idling right. Even more lumpy than usual. I'm going to get the sparks out, clean them up and go from there. At least I can get it MOTd now lol

^ agreed. But, my old set up with silver with grey turinis and :love:

I've heard good things about the uprated anti-roll bar. Have you considered the basics such as new tyres and or brakes? I very much underestimated the value of these!

I wish it did show me which cylinder but alas I am here to make educated guesses. Expect an update this evening. See below for the spark plugs. They're in order. Spot cylinder 3!

I'll clean up the plugs as best I can and see how that changes things too. Might have been a load of fuss over nothing 😂

Unfortunately my obd scanner just gives me a random cylinder misfire. So it doesn't tell me definitively which cylinder is misfiring. I assumed it was 3 as that tends to be the one that always goes. Also, it was the one with the nasty spark plug which obviously says poor ignition

New plugs arriving soon. Advice on cleaning the old ones? I'm pretty sure I have trapped a lead as the inlet manifold is a tad tricky to line up and defo wouldn't bolt down if I had! But I double check!

So, from what you've said, it's either gonna be a blocked injector or coils or leads? Flow test might give us more evidence to a blockage but if not, it's the other two?

For science sake, I'll be testing the injector flow tonight. I'm resentful to be throwing a bunch of parts at my car when, once isolated, I can just change 1 part and then use the other money for other upgrades or fixes

Yeah that's a fair comment. Mine tends to throw its code about 10 seconds in which made me think more that it was a blockage or the injector is dead altogether. I guess we will see when I do the crank test!

Well that could be our entire issue here. Fault injector initially and the dirty spark plug could still be causing a misfire. New plugs on the way so I'll give that a switch when they arrive too!

That was my thinking. I haven't researched those specific ht leads but why change from the oem ones? Just says to me that someones trying to cut corners
