Had the engine light on for about 2/3 months and it was a cylinder 2 misfire but the car seemed to be running fine changed everything HT leads,coilpack, swapped injectors, spark plugs, crank sensor and a compression test at work but apparently the compression was on so ran out of ideas so thought well I'll do a compression test at home just to make sure and the compression on cylinder 2 was low. So proceeded to strip the engine down to see what the problem was

So as we tool the cylinder head off and looked at the valves we saw immediate what the problem was

Would love to know if it solves your problem... I'm currently having the exact same trouble, have done everything the same as yourself, apart from compression test, which should be getting done this week. Silly misfire in cylinder 2. Wrecking my brain!! Lol
