Default Cylinder 5 ID?

NOW SORTED...TI FOUND THE DIAGRAM ID-ing Cylinders and firing order. THANKS!

Hi.

I have an intermittent but persistent misfire on Cylinder 5. It happens every time I start the car from cold. After farting along for a while, the misfire disappears for a while, then re-appears when the engine's started from cold.

Looking from the bonnet, is it the first cylinder on the right hand bank please?

I've bought a new coil pack to see if that's the problem and will change it when I hear back from someone that I'm changing the correct one!

Many thanks,

DailyMike.

Too slow, but yes you were right. From front to rear 1234 down the drivers side 5678 down the passenger side

Shipbuilder by trade, Jondor sounds like an interesting project.
