X20XEV rough idle when cold?

[Grey]

As in title i have one in a mk4 astra i notice on cold mornings and also at home time at work start it up and its missfire continuesly until you drive it or just give it a few revs 2-3k it goes away...????

Ive been told that its running on ngk Iridium plugs and i know that vauxhalls are bosch lovers could this be it? i did tighten number 4 plug as it seemed a little loose but will find out in the morning if this cures it...

Any sugestions?

Well the reason why it was running rough is becuase water is in the cylinder meaning ..... ive popped a headgasket GREAT!! :mad: :cry:

My luck is absolutly shockingly bad.
