Anyway yesterday I poured a load of Redex into the fuel tank and that seems to have improved things but not entirely and it still seems a little temperamental. I was thinking I'd replace the fuel filter as I think it's original and therefore 15 years old and 70k miles can someone tell me where it is as I can't find the info on Google, also should I be replacing my HT leads as well anyway?
I would say to check the basics first, ie air filter, spark plugs, all the connectors to the coil, cam sensor etc. It does sound like it maybe a blocked fuel filter. have a look at this link:
