Apologies for the vagueness of this question but last week my ford focus
was spluttering while running and i was advised to have a diagnostic check
to try and find the problem. The chap who done this advised me it was only
running on 3 cylinders and suggested replacing the coil, leads and plugs.
This was done and everything seemed to be fine until today when the same
thing happened. This time it appeared to be a different cylinder not
working. I wondered if this was likely to be a faulty coil or another
problem, any advice greatly appreciated.

You may have to change the connector and wires that go to the coilpack.
Ford has a repair kit. The wires fatigue and break inside the casing
causing a misfire. This is what happened on my 2.0L Zetec.
Good Luck

I can get the repair kit for connectors and wires that go to the
coilpack. I ve been trying to find the it like crazy
