Sounds like fuel starvation, check the fuel filter for leaks. If the filter hasn't been renewed within normal replacement period, it defo needs renewing now IMHO. :y

The 'fuel filter' is located under the fuel tank, offside rear, you need special 'pilers' to release the fuel pipe clips.
First place to start as owners don't tend to have them replaced (should be 40k/4years)
good luck

if you smell fuel from exhaust ,could be missing on a cylinder which isnt igniting the fuel ,then as you have change plugs and leads did you check the dis pack aswell
could be that
