Compression was the main issue mate! I believe that this was causing the spluttering and juddering. The other big Issue is the engine change that I didn't know about when I bought the car, so I was kind of in the same boat as you! I went along with it for year or so as it was working ok for a...
Yeah it is the same car! MF59 WEW? They must have got it cheap at auction and tried fixing it to make a few quid! I changed the oil frequently (as it always used LOADS) and I also tried loads of different spark plugs and nothing solved the problems, compression was really low on cylinder 4 when...
