I went to Silverstone motorsport and got some NGK BUR9EQ\'s. The missfire was happening before I fitted these plugs anyhow, once the engine is warmed up it is drivable but not 100%. The boost gauge dosnt flutter which leads me to believe that there isnt a compression issue, also the car starts ok warm or cold. Im armed with a new fuel filter and some redex so Im going to attempt to drain the tank when I get chance!

All sorted now. Drained the tank, the fuel was black in colour and oily looking! Replace the fuel filter and put some new fuel in with redex.

Thanks guys. Im much more happy! There must be a little bit left in the tank as its started to come back through as I got low on fuel but im hoping it will clear up after some driving.
Im unsure as to what I will be doing on the 20th but I shall see.
Many thanks again.

Small update. The car went back into limp mode. After being investigated by the guys at Silverstone Autosport, the oil metering pump was failing. They also refurbed the fuel injectors as it was leaning out and missing now and again!
Car runs 110% now, really made up!
