Well 100% its not leads as it doesnt have any. Could be plugs well worth changing if you dont know when they were last done and while the coils are out have a visual inspection of them for cracking. I'd then replace the coils in a different position remembering where you put no 4 coil. If the missfire moves to that cylinder the its a fair bet the coil's knackered.

HI MATE

THANKS FOR THE INFO. STILL LEARNING THE CAR JUST HAD IT A FEW DAYS. AM SO USED TO MY OLD SCOOBY!

I NEED TO KNOW SOME BASICS. WHERE ARE THE COILS? I DONT SUPPOSE YOU HAVE ANY DIAGRAMS FOR THE ENGINE BAY? OR ANY PICS?

ALSO DOES THIS CAR HAVE INDIVIDUAL COIL PACKS OR JUST ONE?

THANK YOU

This car has individual coils, one for each cylinder they are sat straight on top of the plugs with one bolt holding them in

If the code was P0304, it could be linked to a faulty neutral position switch which is a well known fault of the Newage cars.

Do a search on Neutral position switch
