What could cause a misfire even though the spark plugs are ok? After a bit of self-diagnosis with the help of the bloke across the street it appears that no. 2 cylinder has the above affliction. I could change the plugs completely of course, but that may not cure anything and I have a hunch it will do precisely nowt.
This is in addition to this 'tapping' noise I keep hearing. The bloke had a listen for me and picked it up straight away. However, he can't be too sure as to what is causing it. He practically ruled out it being tappets as they're hydraulic, inferring this design rules out many problems that used to occur. He did say that it could be a bent valve, of some other moving part in that area of the engine. It's going to be expensive for someone to have a look let alone repair it, isn' it?!
