Fault codes!!

Took Trophy for a quick blast today and the engine management light came on, I got my mate to plug his diagnostic tool in and it brought up PO13O$7A and PO304 which I think is cylinder 4 misfire. Car seems to be running perfect other than the light so I turned the codes off and will see what happens. Any ideas? Was hoping to use it for Llandow but Im running out of options...

I would say run it and see if it comes back on mate. If your that concerned though take a coil pack (has it got leads?) and and a set of plugs, I have the latter as I swapped my plugs today and there was nowt wrong with the old ones

If it's brought up a misfire code but it's not misfiring i'd wage my money on the plug leads starting to break down.

I've done a couple of spark plug changes on 172/182s in the past and soon after the leads give up.

​Take a spare set of plugs/leads/coilpack (Off another one of your many clios??) just in case.

172/182 bits the same?
Which leads/plugs coil pack? Can I upgrade?
It's not misfiring at the minute is running great. .

Genuine parts for all of them. You could upgrade the leads but I don't see the point personally. I'm willing to be educated on that though.

Euro car parts / GSF parts are crap though so don't bother with them. Genuine FTW.

Before you go spending your money, wait to see if someone else offers any opinion.

I'm only going off my own experiences, not actual mechanical fact! lol.

​Look forward to meeting you at Llandow! :D

Update. . Started car this morning, no light but I let it warm up and it came on. As soon as I started driving it went off. . Having listened more closely the idle is a bit lumpy. .
