Default Scotland S12 specialist?

My S12 is broken down, only firing on one cylinder... I need help from somebody who knows their stuff in Scotland, can anyone help?

Cheers

Fairly simple motor by modern standards. Any decent mechanic with a slant for the old school should be able to sort it.

How do you know its only running on one cylinder ? I would be amazed it would fire up with just one!

Edinburgh is missions, im in the dead centre of Scotland...

im no mechanic, so i dont know if its running on one cylinder... it doesnt for long if thats any help... the weird thing is that when i push down on the accelerator i hear loads of clicks from what i reckon are the spark plugs, but there is only 1 firing.

Could you post a video on youtube or something? Someone on here might be able to give you a better idea where to look if they can hear it running?
