Last night my car started to missfire....sounds like a scooby...honest.
Anyway....got into the car at work to go for lunch...car wouldnt tick over....there was no spark..
AA came had a look at the car...he changed the plugs and it started.
I drove half a mile up the road and there as no water at all in the water bottle.....missfire like mad...there was not much power, the water hoses were solid....white smoke behind me.....
