    Have had a miss appear in car, only when idling, have been told maybe part of inlet manifold has sucked in or HT leads, any one got any ideas on anything else to look for?

    I had the XR8 running on 5 cylinders (V5) a few months ago and not only was it the leads that were broken but the coil was burnt out as well. You could also check the leads for crack or even Rat bites, Anna's old XR6 was missing and when you looked at the leads closely the Rats had chewed through part of one............Worth a crack.

    The Rats did $2000 worth of damage to the inside of the dash too, twice So in the course of 12 months that was just on $4000..............FMG Insurance covered the lot, they're good like that too. Cool

    Had the local Ahaura Easter hunt in the weekend and our son and his mates went to the river down the back of the farm and got a Trout, the 2nd one got away but the one they got was 4th heaviest, so they were wrapped, plus they got an eel and about 20 hares, but they never did get the stag down the back of the farm either, cos that's mine.
