Now I have a totally random misfire, happens any time, not necessarily under load, can be cruising along on the flat at 60k in 5th and big jerk happens, or in second going round a roundabout at 15k, big jerk.
When it happens the tacho drops dramatically, it's as if the engine just stopped for a split second.
Any ideas, apart from put it back into the Nissan Garage and tell them they failed.
