Thanks. I have found a few reports on other internet forums, mainly in US, of suppressor capacitors causing misfiring.
My car is the LH 2.4 system - no contact breaker, no ballast resistor, but presumably the effect would be the same?

It seems odd that the effects have been so specific - cold start, misfires 10 seconds into a journey, corrects itself after a further 10 seconds, then runs perfectly. If I idle the engine for the 10 seconds first, or take my time going down the drive or stop to shut the gate, it doesn't do it.
