This wouldn't happen to be the one owned previously by @gpssti4

Get some pictures up

I'd say fuel, if its the original thats been sat in there for a few years. Throw in some high octane and see if that sorts the issue out.

Indeed, it's my old car. It's been sat for a while and so it could just be bad fuel. He's checked the spark so probably not, plugs, leads or coil pack. I did wonder if it could be an injector that's gone down.
