Coil then plug in that order, though you can swap coils and see if the misfire follows.

Ok. Just had a quick fiddle. Scanner c110 shows nothing. Don’t trust it. Cheapo scanner shows misfire on 5. Engine light now out and running fine.
Swapped no 5 coil pack to 4 and plug to 3. Erased code. Will run tomorrow and see if I get new code.
Plug looks well eroded but I need to look at others first.
Why is C110 scanner showing nothing! Trying to add photos

Mate, if you were planning on taking them out to look why not just replace
Bosch, NGK both are fine. If there is an offer on I'd get a spare coil just in case, never hurts to have one in stock.
