Ended up getting sold with the miss and a boot full of once-used parts, I can't remember if the new owner sorted the thing. Apart from the miss (it had replacement or fully checked out coils, ecu, MAF sensor, oxygen sensors, crank angle/knock, cam, temp, oil pressure and temp, the whole 19 yards). I can't think off hand of anything that wasn't tried and the bitch still missed and farted about. Possibly the only thing left would have been the loom, but they even checked that out and cleared it...

That is pretty much what we have done so far prior to discovering the crack in the head and the missing water. We had a MAF issue about 8 years ago and replaced the MAF and it has run well ever since which is why , when it started again late last year, I replaced the MAF first thinking it was that. That made no difference, hence leads, and plugs, dizzy and rotor, coil and fuel filter as we worked through what could cause it.
