when it missfires you will know, it will run like a bag of spanners, errors all over the joint.

when was it the last time it was serviced?

i havent done it since i owned it but ive only had it a year...

Will a service fix the problem

i had my brother take a look and he checked the spark pluga and there fine but said it could possibly be the coil pack???

yeah your suppose to service the car every 20,000 or once a year (which every comes first) - recommended.

i couldnt tell you if it is or isnt the coil pack...best place would be a garage.

ok thanx will probably get it in the garage next week anyways, its done 80,000 miles + its a 1999 model too, will have to check its log book and other documents i have to see when it last had a service, oh it doesnt sound like a bag of spanners either, my brother was quite impressed...so hopefully it just needs a service...thanx for advice.....
