COuld be a number of things

1) Leaking cam cover gasket - plug holes full of oil

2) Coil pack gone or going

3) Plugs knackered

So remove the coil pack (easy job) and look for oil in the plug holes.

If there is wipe it out, then buy a genuine gasket and repair.

Check the plugs if OK leave, otherwise replace.

If it runs like this after a check over nad possibly new plugs - new coil pack required.

The other tuned 2.6. DIY LPG, towbar, upgrade ICE & Wing Spoiler, Air shocks, Eibach Pro Springs, Poly WB bushes, WIM setup, HID conversion, 3.0 cams, ported ect.

Apr 2011 at 20:31 thanks guys...think i will replace plugs anyway as they were not done on last service so it is time(and £9 for four is not a bad price))...if it is a new coil pack what sort of price would i be looking at?? and DD guide is well written thanks for the link

Apr 2011 at 11:50 I had one from the VauxCentre last February at £71 odd - although I should have checked with andyc first. If you can't get the pack out, Chris's great little tip will help speed the process. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1293850760
