as an update which may hopefully help others.

Finally got around to getting the car into my local garage.  Turned out the engine coolant sensor was buggered and was reporting to the ECU the temp was 160 degrees!  this meant the ecu backing off the fuel mix causing the bad running and noises.
New sensor fitted (with much paid as the old one snapped off in the cylinder head) and new plugs and seems well again.

Although I have a TD I always read these posts as all knowledge is useful, and I have to say I don't recall this coming up on OOF while I have been a member ( Yes I know I'm only a sprog), so well done Canon Cam for the update. :y :y :y

I agree.. :y  particularly as I was heading for the Dis Pack, having had similar problems in the past....

The annoying thing is ... it was a garage, and not OOF, that spotted it, however, it was a 'local' garage. ::) ::) ::)
