thought i had sorted it when i found the leaky rocker gasket. put new plugs in and it seemed ok. this morning started misfiring like mad and then died on me at a junction. took about 20 seconds trying to start it and then carried on misfiring. soon as its warmed up its ok. checked fault codes and the only ones there are for the egr as i have a different inlet fitted. going to try some leads and a coil i have in the garage and wait till the morning  any ideas

could be a couple of things,
CTS going up the swonny, have seen them cause missfires when warm,
ATS same as above.
Coil pack could be breaking down when warm, try when this happens putting a pair of marigolds on and pulling 1 ht lead off the coil at a time and see if the engine runs different.
