Was at some lights and floored it away then 200 yards up road yellow engine light on and car was miss firing ? Got to a safe place to stop and switched off. Restarted car and fine ?
Would this be coil packs related ?

What did you read the codes with?

Coil packs and spark plugs are the most likely cause.

I used the screen on i drive as it allows me to check engine and no faults came up ?
 
That's almost certainly coil pack related, turning the car off and on again will likely work for a while but eventually it'll misfire permanently.

If you plug it into an obd code reader it'll tell you which cylinder missfired but you're best off changing all six coil packs as if ones going then the rest won't be much better.

That’s not the same as a code reader, get the codes read to find out what’s happening :thumbsup:
