I've now got the Durametric - and how right you are. It is showing a misfire code and nothing more. Guess I will now be getting my hands dirty and starting with the plugs and coils.

I might regret getting the Durametric now that I see the ignition range readings. From my limited understanding of them the over revs look very high!
Range 1 33785 / 2232 Hours
Range 2 145 / 372 Hours

Total Hours 2257

I assume range 2 at 145 is not good but at least it was a long long time back - is that correct? (Current mileage is 61000 by the way).

Is there anything in particular I should now check with the Durametric (other than fault codes)?

That is a fairly small number of Range 2 over-rev's. Nothing to worry about.
