30d misfire possibly injectors?

Hey,
For a few months now I have noticed a slightly rougher idle than usual. It is intermittent and will do it at any temperature. The longer it is idling, the rougher it becomes from barely noticeable to (almost) "is this a 4 cylinder?" Vibration and noise increases although the revs remain steady. Once revved, it is reset and may or may not start again.
This morning - oh dear. It was a cold start and it was immediately so rough, it appeared to be misfiring and only on 4/5 cylinders. As we pulled away it became normal driving again and normal idle.

Any thoughts or experiences? I think it could be a injector(s) problem.

Feedback much appreciated!

Try to order the replace the new plugs to see if works or not. If you still have misfired, try to exchange the coils.
