Misfire on a PD will probably be a worn cam.

Wow that's a bit scary I thought it might be the loom on the injector 

I was just  going to order 1

If it was the loom it would come up as cylinder 1, injector 1, electrical malfunction, not just a simple misfire. Do you get a “thud thud thud” beat in the air intake system?

Sorry, it's really easy to check by whipping off the rocker cover which has to come off to do the loom anyway.

The thud thud thud I'm not sure I do get it but I will.listen tomorrow 

So you think the.loom is a nono then

Is there any easy way to qualify the cam possibility 

Thanks

Yes well I have taken it off to replace the Injector, but didn't notice any issue with the cam lobes

Might be a side issue but always worth sorting on a car that relies on electric to the computers for their programs and diagnostics. 01598 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja_5shgQwl4

 

00532 - http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/00532

 

Sort the battery and/or connections and/or recharge the battery fully - then delete the errors codes, drive the car and who knows (I bet some do! 😄) the misfire might not reappear.  All quick, easy and almost free to try, if the misfire returns at least hopefully you've sorted the other two issues hopefully before they might lead on to other issues and you have to scroll down the screen.

 

I always like to try the simple, easy, quick, very low cost first before moving on to the sexy stuff mainly because I know nothing about the sexy stuff other than it often leads to mess and expense. 😁

Why not wait on ordering the loom and see how this goes first, don't forget to recharge the battery (if required) just driving the car often isn't enough to fully recharge a low battery and might even drain it more.  If you've got a battery and alternator tester on you scan program(?) check that out.

 

Good luck.

Thanks I just checked the battery and its showing 13vts plus

Disconnected for a few minutes  and started voltage from alternator was 14.4

So all looks ok

You need to let the battery settle for a while after charging and best to check again after a few starts to see if the charge has been held but on the face of it, allowing for multimeter variations, those figure do look good, on this occasion.  Sorry it's probably not the easy, quick fix I was hoping it might be but always worth checking the battery and connections when there are electric issues.

 

Good news the battery and alternator seem OK but outweighed by your main issue. ☹️

 

Are you still showing 01598 and 00532?

 

Hi not showing  anymore but haven't driven today

You may be able to sustain this by the use of a technical dexterity, fingers crossed, but not whilst driving.

Excellent news, a much cheaper and easier job than fitting a new cam and followers. 

Yes for sure
