At idle, it sends a bad harmonic down the exhaust, which sounds like a chattering flywheel. I actually have a video of this. https://youtu.be/MHc84mj3zgQ

George, would you mind confirming what you mean by Quad-Pack?
Interesting about being down a cylinder. If I was down a cylinder, would it be down continuously? Excuse my limited mechanical knowledge ( I am slowly learning ! )
And for the full power to come back once I regained highway speeds?
Also the video you sent me, the knocking sounds like it has a certain rhythm, where mine is more spontaneous, louder then softer. I will take a video when I can.

Steve - as far as I can tell from the previous owners receipts, the Injectors were supplied by Jerry's Gaskets in 2015. The type I am not sure about. I normally fill the car with 98 octane fuel which does not contain ethanol here. We do have ethanol fuels but are used in 91 RON.
Paul - Will look into finding this diagram and hopefully it is injectors.
This has only ever happened once before when I felt the car was lacking power. Normally the car will go like a bat out of hell! The car doesn't get driven much so may be contributing to the issue. Usually on starting ( cold starts are fine) the engine will shake, looks like it is hunting for idle. Not sure if this is normal?
Thanks for your help with this guys. Much appreciated.
