   Got a very slight hesitation and missfire when cruising.. happens when in 4th around 40mph in the damp/moist but weather could just be a coincedence, but there a definate lack in performance and exhaust note changes slightly..
   
   Going to look at it at the weekend and compression test it tomorrow..
   
   Its got new plugs and just have a full service
   
   Just didnt know if there was a common problem such as the coil pack goes down or something?

   when my coil pack went,it was really slow you could drive 2 mins down the road in 1st gear before needing to change to 2nd,maybe injectors?mine missfired and it was a injector had failed
