Default car started on 3 cylinders this morning
As above...started on three then cleared after about half a mile, was obviously lumpy and lurching a bit til then though.
I have done a couple of short journeys recently and my trip to work is only 3 miles now....could this be it? Do I need to worry?

(I will be cycling this route soon though)

no as your getting a new engine

Would just be some carbon on the plug due to you using the car instead of the bike, if you havent got one speak to jaffa

I think it's had it - the only solution is to replace it with a 2.1 stroker.....
