Thanks for the suggestions......
Plug leads are near new, all plugs running an even tan colour.
Air and fuel filters replaced less than 2000 kilometres ago.

Will run the air leak test in a days time when I can get to the car in daylight ( as a mr. mum there's plenty of things to do ! ) Prefer to do the test with water in a squirt bottle, similar result without the possibility of kaboom.

Last time the 3 cylinder thing happened ( only a few weeks ago ) it turned out to be an injector requiring cleaning.

None of these things ( imho ) really point to the low idle speed at cold start. This was happening prior to the 3 cylinder scenario.
