UK Bad misfire only when cold

Hello all,

know this thread is probably on here somewhere already, we have done all the usual, changed the plugs, leads and coils. For a while it cured the problem but now its back with a vengeance. The engine misfires terribly when cold, CEL flashes (now stays on after flashes) the code reader is only picking up misfire in chamber 2, but has given that readout on every previous occasion. Runs absolutely great when warm, but suspect alot of unburnt fuel in the exhaust as it does pop a bit for a little while when warm. Any help greatly appreciated. We are considering the seafoam route next. We are in the UK.
