Have an S REG 2.0i Ghia. Been running "Lumpy" for a few weeks. Happens when idling and accelerating. Much worse with aircon on.
Plugs are plat and only 10K old, new ignition leads, all new filters and venturi cleaned out. Local garage have two suggestions from Ford ( can't remember what! ) but will cost around £30 a go.
Ford dealer wants 92 quid to hook up to diagnostic machine.
Anyone know a good independent Ford Garage who can run the diagnostics cheap or free!?
Many thanks.

Come on now, we all bitch and whine about garage labour costs, but you really cant expect some poor bloke running his own business to stop what he is doing, hook up a diag machine he paid a fortune for and spend half an hour checking whats wrong with your car for nothing! gota be worth 30 quid in beer vouchers surely

Plugs may be platinum and 10k old but if the old leads were tracking down the side of the plug then even with the new leads the tracking will continue. You will need to whizz the plugs out and check for tracking on 3 + 4. If evident then nothing for it- new plug and lead set.If all ok in this department then bite the bullet and go for a diagnostic check.
