Get the codes read, then maybe someone can help.

Code readers are as cheap as chips so always handy to have.......

lol, was on my way to Goodison Park. 35 quid down the drain there! Ive had the RAC out now, im home. Ive got 2 codes.

P0302
P0303

Cylinder misfires on 2 & 3, i think he said.

Would something as simple as spark plugs bring on the CEL? Or am I trying to convince myself I'm not in for a massive bill, again?

First check is plugs and coil packs, itll prob be worth comp testing the cylinders whilst you've got the plugs out as its easier to check it while its apart anyway.
