#2: Re: Help asap!! Author: Abzynthe, Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:03 am ---- Sounds like a misfire. Check the spark plugs, gaskets etc. That would be the first thing
#3: Re: Help asap!! Author: GT1330, Location: Scotland,MontrosePosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:05 am ---- What gaskets do i check?
#4: Re: Help asap!! Author: panason1c, Location: SomersetPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:20 am ---- Probably dampness on the HT (high tension) electrics causing the misfire, should be ok once fully warmed up and dried out.

#9: Re: Help asap!! Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:49 am ---- Peugeot ones will generally be Bosch.
Other brands have been know to make the coilpack have dicky fits. There was even a service bulletin published about not using NGK

Coming on here and guessing (like most people, myself included do) is fine if your not relying on the car but you sound like you really need it. The information given on here is great but hardly comparable to a mechanic that can see, hear and touch the car...
