ive had a few mates look at it earlier today and they think its more of a spluttering , i start the car and its fine for a min or two then the revs seem to lower and it seems to want to stall, its also like it when i put it into gear and give it no gas - just letting it creep or if im stood at a junction in drive with the break on - splutter splutter splutter! ive also noticed that it takes a lot more to get the car to start as before when it would fire up straight away it now takes ages!

hmmmmmmmm
