Default Cylinder #6 misfire

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice.

My check engine light came on last weekand so idropped it off at garage for a check.

Was told nothing was wrong mechanically but there was an auto electrical problem. Got an auto electician to look at it who said it was not electircal is was cylinder 6 misfire and has directed me back to mechanics.

Can anyone shed some light on what problem with cylinder 6 may be and how to fix it???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Lou

needs to be properly diagnosed, but ususally a single cylinder misfire on a freelander is a coil.

thanks for your help.

Are coils easy to replace or will it be an expensive job?????

Auto electrician siad it would be time consuming as cylinder 6 is at the back of the engine. Is this true?
