Hi all,

Just noticed on my last 2 trips out in the car that when sat at the lights or junctions in idle the engine has quite a bad mis-fire...i was sat there with the music on and it felt like the engine had stalled but then went back to normal and it did this a few times within the space of a few mins and then again when i pulled up at the next set of lights. Havent noticed it when driving and when pulling away its fine. Any ideas what may be causing it? my first thought was the sparks but looking at the service history this was done last MOT in Jan and the car has only done 500miles since...
