Good news Mark, let's hope it was a one off - it's not like the car is not driven regularly
Indeed. It was good of Felly to say "no point chucking money at it if it doesn't need doing!"

Well, Felice reported back to me this afternoon. There good news and bad news.
The bad news is that I have to pay about £40 on a one way train ticket to pick her up.
The good news is that there is nothing wrong with her!!!!
He plugged the diagnostics in when she came off the lorry, and she came up with mis firing on cylinders 1 & 3.
Which Felly said was odd to start with. He then took the coils off both front and rear to check that they looked OK.
Reset the engine warning light.
Started her up, bingo. Good as gold. Took her for a spin. All good, running fine.
Left her a while did the same thing. Started her up and she's running fine.
So in summary. She's magic!
Felly reckons she just had a hissy fit! Probably as she won't be kept in the garage for two weeks.
Happy days!

You might want to get a couple of coils. I *suspect* they are probably failing. Mine did a less significant version a few times before it eventually decide not to play ball at all.
C
could you swap the coils to the other side? that way if it does it again, it should narrow it down easier if it moves or stays
my 3.2 alfa GT did similar, it was fine, and then fine the next day again, but then 2 days later misfiring again! so be ready
Out of interest what does Felice have for diagnostics at his place ?
Sorry to hear that Mark but at least at Giallo they should be able to get to the bottom of it as something clearly is wrong and it needs sorting - I hope it's 3 figures and not 4!
Good luck
I have a set of 8 coils in the SM Euro Trip Spares bag, they are not for sale but your welcome to try them if you want to come down and get them.
One for all the 3200 owners.

To be fair that was a blowout not a breakdown so doesn't count.
I'm going to Giallo next week so will see your car there. He's mental busy that's for sure.
No fair posting pics of ex's Athol! Lol
