So starts from here.

Every time I drive about 60-70mph and stay at that speed for about 5 mins my engine Management light flashes for about 15 seconds then goes off.

I have plugged a diagnostics machine in and the codes are:

P0300
P0301
P0304

Looked them up and comes back as misfire.

Car has done 46,000 Miles and is a 1.4 8v Active Sport 2007

Had the plugs changed about 4,000 Miles ago.

Whats the best step to take ? and what does anyone advise to do ?

Thanks Guys

This is what i'd do, as it seems your armed with a reader ??
Swap the coil packs from Cylinder 1 and cylinder 4, to 2 and 3.

If you then get P0302 and P0303, then you've determined it's the coil packs.
This will take about 10 minutes tops.

how will that help he has a misfire on cyl 1 and 4 :confused:

the 1.2 uses a single coil pack unfortunately

check the leads are not damaged the plugs on the caps for those 2 spark plugs are a crap design ..

but it does seem to be coil related...

worth removing the coil pack (battery off 20 mins before hand) ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
