So today it finally happened... Cylinder 1 misfire
Have hardly been using the car due to lockdowns so never got around to taking it to a garage. Today, went for an overtake (not even aggressive, a very slow moving vehicle didn't necessitate that) and the car juddered quite a lot and the EPC light came on. Pulled over and scanned with OBDEleven. Below is the exported log

Before I phone the garage on Monday, has anyone got any quick things I could look at myself, on a driveway, with minimal tools? Things that might have shaken loose etc? Remember, this issue arose originally just after a service, which may just be a coincidence, but I can't shake the feeling that it will be related somehow.
I would like to take my JB4 off (even though it's been in passthrough mode) and test again, but I'm unsure if I really want to drive the car that much. So my next question is: can I do any more harm by driving the car as normal? When I turned the car off and on again, the light was gone, and the car no longer in limp mode. I drove the 1.5 miles home under 2000 rpm, and it seemed ok.
