Changed plugs and ht leads still got a mis fire
25. Aug 2011 at 16:26

Hi guys well my hubby fit the new leads today and although it ticks over nicely once under load it still mis fires Sad

He noticed that one of the old leads had brown stains on the end like it had been in contact with water? Anyhow taking the advice from here it seems like the next step would have to be a dis pack.My hubby rang Vauxhall and he said there is 2 to choose from and he would have to take the old one off to see which one we had!!!! And with trade it would be £150 !!!!
Now please tell me we can buy an aftermarket one?

Aug 2011 at 16:34 Which one you require depends on oval or rectangular plug which is directed on the end nearest the center. You can find out by removing the scuttle and having a peek. I have an unused rectangular connector dis here but most miggies are oval

I have an unused rectangular connector dis here but most miggies are oval Thumbs Up!

Do you mean an electrical connector?

Ours is one where the connector is on the top not at the side looking at a parts place it shows an oval one for our cars registration.
