Freelander Petrol 1999 1795cc model. Will start most of the time on the first turn of the key. other timess it is taking 2 or 3 long turns of key to get engine to fire up. Engine once running, will drive away with slight missing, and when slowing down at a junction the engine often sounds like it is begining to miss. Do you think the coil or HT lead to the coil could be braking down ?
Could be simple thing like a plug, had a sservice recently???
However these engines are very very common for head gasket failure, check fluids, i.e, coolant look for oil contamination, and oil check for water etc, check plugs for wear and corrosion.
Good luck Davelee

Thanks Dave for comment, sadly just recently had a new head gasket, and about a week or two later this fault developed.
Have changed the plugs and current no sign of coolant / oil contamination.
