It could be worth a punt. They reckon that you can do a misfire count to see if the injector is causing it or which 1 so that could be another road to go down. I was thinking of getting a borescope and taking a look. No I'm not mapped yet as I want it running right before I book in at r-tech as it's a long way for me to go if it's not running as it should

Anything cheaper than trying to clean the valves is worth a shot.
I'm not sure how to go about doing a misfire count which is why I thought I'd replace the plugs which has helped my misfiring or idle stability. I can't upload a video as photobucket doesn't upload the video I've taken after I fitted the plugs but it's now sitting stable.

Yeah that's true. My rev counter doesn't fluctuate it stays still even when juddering.
