Judder plus engine light (changed coil packs)

@hlcst yeah plugged it in today misfire cylinder 2 and random multiple misfires
hlcst:
What coil packs and plugs did you end up going for and did you keep your old ones?
shoaybmakda:
Kept the old coil packs but not spark plugs. Coil packs were from euro car parts and spark plugs were Bosch double platinum
hlcst:
Before you go down the injector route clear the fault codes and check all your connections and make sure the wiring looks to be in good health, then if that seems to be fine swap around your current coil packs and then see if the misfire moves to a different cylinder, if it does try one of your old coil packs. If nothing changes try it with your spark plugs. By doing these steps you will be eliminating either a coil pack or spark plug issue
One thing I noticed on mine when I had the issues was when I swapped the plugs it worked a treat but as soon as the car got up to temp the misfire returned so make sure to take it on a fairly spirited drive.

Thanks for the advice @hlcst I'll give that a try. What was your issue in the end?
Is it an indication that on my daily commute to work im getting bad mpg? I roughly get 18mpg on my way to work and return aswell which is a 6 mile trip of city driving and dual carriage way for about 2 miles?
Absolutely hate it when it happens! Love the car to bits which is the only thing stopping me giving it up
